DONATE NOW to Blanket Drive

The third annual Rotary Blanket Drive, spearheaded by the Bettendorf Rotary Club, has a goal of collecting over 4,000 gently used and new blankets this year. These blankets are used by non-profit and charitable organizations to provide to those in need this winter. We find that working with agencies is the best way of getting these blankets directly into the hands of those who need them most.
Please consider donating blankets or donating financially to support this community effort. A $10 donation will buy one new twin blanket ($20 will buy 2, etc.). Twin sizes and “couch blankets” work best. Thank you for your support.

Lobsterfest is Bettendorf Rotary Club’s Annual Fundraiser!
Bettendorf Rotary Club gets involved in multiple projects each year to help support our community.
For example...
- A fairly new initiative is our Blanket Drive with blankets given to individuals and families in need through many agencies in our community. We collected and delivered over 4,000 blankets in 2023.
- Each year we also send four high school students to the Rotary Youth Leadership Academy for students throughout Iowa.
- We sponsor a “Pay it Forward” program with all Bettendorf 5th graders.
- We award seven college scholarships.
- We create and deliver Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to low-income families.
- We supported our community’s Honor Flight with our Lobsterfest “Fund-A-Cause”.
Our local projects focus on helping youth, people with disabilities, veterans, low-income families, and the homeless. Lobsterfest supports many of these projects.
Please consider a sponsorship to help fund our many community projects! Contact Maria at mosterberg@legat.com
