The Greenville and Hudson Rotary Clubs are joining together to raise money to donate to the Rotary Foundation.  The Rotary Foundation enables Rotary Clubs to change lives both here at home in New York's Hudson Valley and throughout the world by providing grants for a variety of projects, large and small.

For example, the Hudson Rotary Club (together with other Columbia County Clubs) received a grant to purchase tablets for students to use for remote schooling.  The tablets were distributed to libraries in and around Hudson and are available for students to borrow and use at home.  The Greenville Rotary Club received a grant to purchase milk and eggs for local families during the summer school vacation.

The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world.

Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects.

With your help, we can make lives better in your community and around the world.

The mission of The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.
