The Rotary Club of Santa Paula has launched its annual drive to collect and deliver food and toys to 400 needy families and their children in Santa Paula for Christmas.The Rotarians will be filling boxes with frozen chickens, canned goods, rice, beans, potatoes and fruit, as well as toys and books for the children.
