We pride ourselves on integrating our membership with the community, seeking out needs and developing solutions. Here is a sampling of some projects we’ve done or are doing locally.
Sleep Cubbies Project
This is a project that started in 2022/2023 when President Jay Murphy introduced a multi-year large scale project that our club is supporting, both financially and via volunteers. The project has grown to where it is now its own 501.c.3 called Sleep Cubbies, Inc. Please click HERE to see details of the project.
Halloween Books Instead of Candy Project
This project began in 2010 when the Encanto Palmcroft neighborhood decided that it would be better to provide books to young kids rather than candy. Each year, they distribute roughly 4000 books to about 2000 kids on Halloween night. They block off the street, and volunteers from Rotary Interact Clubs, Rotaract Clubs, and Rotary Clubs all volunteer by helping the kids pick out books of interest. Please join us on Halloween night. Contact Jay Murphy.

Community Garden Cleanup - Volunteer Opportunity - Families Giving Back
Bring the children in your life to help the Creighton Community Foundation tend to their community garden at Acre 15. We will use our hands for planting, harvesting, weeding, and possibly even building an Adirondack chair for use on site!
What is Families Giving Back?
A group of PHX Rotary100 members who offer monthly volunteer projects to our children.png)
and local youth to help instill the values of giving back to the community and "Service above Self" at a young age.
This event is geared toward both Rotarians and non-Rotarians to bring their children or grandchildren and engage them in volunteerism at an early age. The kids take the lead on the volunteer project, but guardians will assist. Our hope is to introduce the children to volunteering and their guardians to the good work that Rotary does in our community and around the world.
Please remember to register for this event. The volunteer project will take place from 9:00am-11:00am

Volunteers Needed: St. Luke's Food Pantry Distribution

We have been helping to distribute food at St Luke’s of the Mountain for 11years. Yes, it’s an early morning gig, but for those in need, it can be a lifesaver. Every 2nd and 4th Saturday, rain or shine. Join us. Volunteers are needed.
St. Mary's Food Bank provides a mobile food delivery service to partners like St. Luke's at the Mountain Church twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays, 5:30 - 8 am. To donate supplies, email Les Deviat at St. Luke's.
