Rotary Day of Service
What is Rotary Day of Service?
On Saturday, May 18, 2024, more than 800 Rotary clubs and 30,000 Rotarians across 10 states and 5 countries, from Connecticut to Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Colorado, and Wyoming in the United States, plus the countries of Bermuda, Brazil, Canada, and England, will volunteer in their communities for an unprecedented Rotary Day of Service, collecting clothes for homeless, refurbishing parks, and much, much more.
