We are a hands-on club, helping those in need in Orange, across the greater New Haven region and around the world. Our passionate members are dedicated to the Rotary motto, ‘Service Above Self.’

We annually provide more than $50,000 to area charities and organizations thanks to our fundraisers. The money we raise goes to food pantries and veterans groups, youth programs, literacy programs, senior care and scholarships.
