PROJECTS

past, current, & future

Current: Hollybrook Park Bluebird Project

Partnering with the NC Bluebird Society, the Wendell Rotary Club will be installing bluebird houses at Hollybrook Park to help protect and grow our local bluebird community. We're also selling the Bluebird Houses and 100% of the money goes to a great cause.

Service above self—one birdhouse at a time.

Current: Backpack Buddies Helping Feed Hungry Kids

Partnering with the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle to help Erase Hunger in our community.

Current: Happy Bucks for Alzheimer's Research

At each meeting, our members (and guests!) share “Happy Bucks”—a chance to stand up, celebrate something good from the past week, and drop $1 (or more!) into the bucket. Every Happy Buck goes directly to Alzheimer’s research. It may sound simple, but those small moments of joy add up in a big way… our contributions now total in the thousands!

Past: Polio Awareness & Community Health Drive

Rotarians partnered with local health clinics to host a community fair promoting vaccinations—including polio awareness—free health screenings, and educational resources for families.

Past: Youth Literacy Book Drive

Last spring, the club collected and donated hundreds of age‑appropriate books to local schools and the Wendell Community Library, helping young readers build confident foundations.

Past: Creek Cleanup: “Creek Week Litter Sweep”

In partnership with Wendell’s stormwater team, Rotarians organized a litter sweep along the town’s blue‑line stream during “Creek Week,” helping keep our local waterways clean and vibrant.

Get in touch with us, we're here to listen!
