Jennifer Preston

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Fall River’s website. We hope this site will give you a little insight into who we are and what we do and that it will spark enough interest that you will come down to White’s for lunch on almost any Thursday and meet us in person.

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

Here in the Greater Fall River community we support the work of several non-profit organizations and schools through small grants and volunteering. We also run a number of programs each year including providing backpacks and schools supplies to low income children, hosting a “First Impressions” event to help BCC and other young people enter the work force with their best foot forward, and providing new sneakers and socks to children in needs through “Happy Feet” 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 the Affair to Remember in the Spring.

How can you help?

Consider joining the Rotary Club of Fall River, we are always looking for committed, energetic individuals of all ages to expand the reach of what we can do.
Support our fundraisers through your work or personally; or make direct donations to our club to support particular projects (End Polio Now, Happy Feet, and the Backpack Project just to name a few.)
Volunteer with us as we support local agencies.

If you would like more information please reach out to me. I look forward to speaking with you.
