The Rotary Club of Bellingham Provides Over $84,000 to the Whatcom Center for Early Learning

The Rotary Club of Bellingham (RCOB) named the Whatcom Center for Early Learning (WCEL) as their recipient for their 2022-2023 major project grant funding. The Major Project Committee selected the WCEL due to the alignment of WCEL’s goals with RCOB’s goals - helping youth and families in the Whatcom County community.

WCEL’s grant proposal identified capital improvements needed at their Big Blue House location on H Street – making the building more accessible for those using strollers or wheelchairs by building a ramp, reimagining the playground and making it more inclusive with a special focus on what children with disabilities need. The WCEL is also working on a sensory path to provide opportunities for sensory engagement. These upgrades will ensure their facility is more accessible in order to better fulfill their mission and meet growing community needs.

The Rotary Club of Bellingham raised $84,216.91 for this upcoming work.
