Ways We Give Back

Volunteers collect unsold produce from vendors at the Downtown State College Friday farmer's markets throughout the season.  Collected produce is donated to the State College Area Food Bank. 

 Our club is proud to be the Charter Organization for Scouts BSA State College Troop 31 Boys and Troop 31 Girls.  We also have chartered the Scouts BSA State College Pack 31 Cub Scouts.   Since the early years of Rotary International, Rotary clubs have chartered Scout Troops.  The Scout Law and the 4-Way Test share many of the same values and the many current Rotarians were former scouts. For more information on the Troops, please visit their website.  We encourage all youth in our area to consider joining Scouts BSA.

Club Members are encouraged to participate either as part of our group or at their individual workplaces in the United Way Day of Caring each year.

Lederer Park is named after a past member of our Club, Eugene Lederer.

In partnership with area clubs, Rotarians took turns watering the healing garden during spring and summer months in year's past.

In year's past, Rotarians volunteered to set up and staff Santa's Workshop (State College boro community room) as a part of Polar Express weekends.  Kids and families could pose for a photo with Santa, craft a picture frame and pick-out a toy with their Polar Express coin as part of this completely free event.
