5 Reasons To Give to Rotary on Giving Tuesday

You have many choices where you donate this Giving Tuesday, 27 November. Why should Rotary be your charity of choice?

Here are five reasons to give to Rotary.

1. Accountability

Our accountability and transparency have earned The Rotary Foundation 11 straight years of four-star ratings — the highest possible — from independent evaluator Charity Navigator. Ninety-one percent of Foundation funds are spent directly on programs. No high administrative costs dilute your gift.

Food For Families 2018

On the Friday before Thanksgiving, volunteers from the Boy Scouts, H.E.B. Grocery Company, and area Rotary Clubs collect food in 9 counties. Food For Families is the largest one-day food drive in Texas. This year they collected 317,000 pounds of food!

Ensuring Safety At St. Joseph School

The Rotary Club of Yoakum obtained a grant from Rotary International District 5870 to provide additional security measures for St. Joseph school students and faculty. Each year the club has an opportunity to apply for grant money to benefit some facet of our Yoakum community. Rotary Club President, Bill Lopez, presented a check to Principal Sean Mooney on November 9th.
