Paul Harris Fellows Benefactors - Bequest Society Major Donors - Rotarian Donors - Rotary Direct Donors - All Time Giving.
The Rotary Foundation: Rotary asks every Rotarian to donate $100.00 annually, which makes you a Sustaining Member of the Rotary Foundation. Once you reach $1000.00 in total giving you will earn the honor of being a Paul Harris Fellow and will receive a Paul Harris pin, and Certificate suitable for framing. You can choose to make a one time donation any time during the Rotary year or make recurring donations in smaller amounts throughout the year. All donations are tax-deductible.
We are seeking donations for Gift of Life - our goal is to raise $1300 to go along with the $1700 donation that the Susani family has made on behalf of their niece. Then we can sponsor a child as soon as we have $3000 total. Please click here to donate online
The Great Falls Pantry - requesting donations of Non-Perishable foods.
With almost 27,000 military veterans living in Paterson alone, many of them living under tight financial constraints, this pantry was just what they needed.
Located at 160 Ward Street in Paterson, NJ, the pantry will be open the 3rd Saturday of every month from 9-11 am. Veterans will need to bring proof of service and a tax return in order to shop. Currently, the pantry holds a variety of dry goods and the organizers plan to hold fundraisers in the future to continue to keep the pantry stocked for our vets!
