The Rotary Club of San Luis Obispo de Tolosa is getting into the spirit of giving with their Child Spree event.

When Ricki Lacy was five years old, she got to go shopping as part of Child Spree, hosted by the Rotary Club of San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. Now, she gets to bring her children to the same event.

“Well, I was homeless for four years, ten years ago, and I had three kids," Lacy said. "It means a lot to see the community to come together. You know, just even in the time of the season or even any time of the year, like, I always want to give back to the community.”

For 29 years, the Rotary Club has been helping children in need through winter shopping sprees. This year, each of the 100 students chosen from local schools was given $150 to pick out new clothes at Old Navy.
