The Rotary motto Service Above Self conveys the humanitarian spirit of the organization’s more than 1.2 million members. Strong fellowship among Rotarians and meaningful community and international service projects characterize Rotary worldwide.

On November 3, 2011 we served our community by helping prepare boxes of food for those in need.  The Food Bank of Corpus Christi received over 2,500 orders for boxes for a holiday meal.  Our club helped box 1,000 of those orders that were distributed to those in need.

The boxes will include items like a frozen turkey, canned goods (like corn or green beans), and dry goods (like rice or dressing mix) – items to help make a wonderful holiday meal.

The Food Bank of Corpus Christi services 11 counties in our area.  Almost 12,000 people eat food each week that is provided by the Food Bank from one of their 87 pantries or 15 mobile pantries, senior centers, day care centers, or another one of their programs.
