Growing Local Economies and Improving Communities
Rotary clubs around the world make amazing things happen like breaking the cycle of women in poverty, providing skills development or business training, and sustainable farming.
Rotary carries out service projects that enhance economic and community development and create opportunities for decent and productive work for young and old. We also strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities.

Our Southeastern Pennsylvania District’s clubs provide relief and aid for people experiencing food insecurity and homelessness, and works to help minority entrepreneurs through funding and direct hands-on service.
Each year, our local clubs donate thousands of hours preparing meals, painting or repairing homeless shelters, and collecting and donating warm clothing for families in need. In addition, thousands of dollars are raised locally to contribute to local not-for-profit organizations serving the community.
