Service That Makes a Difference
Rotary is about putting Service Above Self into action.
Throughout the year, our members participate in projects that strengthen our community, including:
- Ramp Builds, working alongside community partners and volunteers, we build wheelchair ramps that help individuals safely access their homes and maintain their independence. These projects improve accessibility while demonstrating Rotary's commitment to serving those in need.
- Hometown Hero, celebrating individuals who make a lasting impact in Corpus Christi.
- Flags Across Southside Corpus Christi, a community service project that promotes patriotism and civic pride.
- Youth leadership and service initiatives.
