Rotary responds to disasters
The Rotary Foundation’s Disaster Response Fund, which supports communities in their rebuilding efforts, has already funded disaster response grants in more than 46 countries. Recently, Hurricane Otis caused catastrophic damage in Acapulco, Mexico. Through a disaster response grant, local Rotary members are working in their communities to provide food and water to those impacted by the hurricane. Your donations to the Disaster Response Fund help Rotary and Rotaract clubs support relief efforts where the need is greatest. Make a donation today.
