Rotary Club of Wellesley
About
The Rotary Club of Wellesley brings neighbors, businesses and community organizations together to turn service into practical action in town and beyond. Its work is guided by local needs and carried out with partner organizations: helping families, seniors, students and veterans get access to nutritious food, protecting the environment, investing in young people, and supporting healthcare partners. The club says it does not try to do everything itself but connects people and resources around shared needs.
Projects range widely. Members have served veterans at the New England Center and Home for Veterans, delivered meals to healthcare workers during the pandemic, and helped students in India, Nigeria and Puerto Rico. Environmental work includes the Arbor Day tree program, in which Wellesley fourth graders plant about 500 trees each year, and a Repair Café for fixing household items. Hunger relief efforts focus on MassBay students, veterans and local families.
