Rotary is a International organization that unites neighbors, community leaders, and global citizens for the common good.  This year’s theme is “Rotary Connects the World” Major areas of focus include our environment, promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, saving mothers and children, supporting education, and growing local communities.  The Fall River club supports these efforts locally and internationally. 

Here in the Greater Fall River community we support the work of local non-profit organizations and schools through small grants, collaborate and volunteer on vocational, environmental and community service projects, sponsor two high school Interact Clubs to help young people develop leadership skills while making a difference, and provide scholarships to graduating seniors who exemplify the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self".  We also run several programs of our own such as Backpacks for Back-to-School filled with schools supplies for low income children, and Happy Feet to provide new sneakers and socks to children in need just to name a few.  We are able to do this by raising money though fundraisers each year, most notably our Pancake Breakfast in the Fall and in 2020 our club will be celebrating 100 years with a 100 Year Gala.

How can you help?
