As members of the Rotary Club of College Park, we believe that service to our community and the world is the best way to build successful personal and professional lives. Through Rotary, we support families in our local community; advance international welfare, goodwill and peace; and build lifelong friendships. We support the local community by donating to 16 organizations in our area. Our signature beneficiary is Operation Warm, which provides quality winter coats to children.
