SERVE
Our local community
The Rotary Club of Corpus Christi provides ongoing support to our community through various program focused on the protecting our environment, helping those in need, and honoring those who serve both abroad and locally.
Protecting our environment
A thriving community on Texas’ Coastal Bend, our members take a vested interest in our local beaches, marine, and wildlife. Every year the Rotary Club of Corpus Christi hosts the Harvey Weil Sportsman Conservationist Award dinner. Harvey Weil was a past Club President, passionate conservationist, and skilled angler and hunter. Funds raised at the dinner provide grants to support research and education in the conservation of natural resources.
Helping those in need
We believe it is important to make a positive difference our community. Monthly we partner with other organizations and help those less fortunate than ourselves. From packing holiday meal boxes at the Coastal Bend Food Bank, to ringing bells for The Salvation Army, to building a trike trail at the Ronald McDonald House Charities – Corpus Christi, we provide a variety of opportunities for community service.
Honoring those who serve
Remembering those who serve and who have served in the military, Rotarians annually salute our veterans with a patriotic Veterans Day program aboard the USS Lexington Museum on the Bay including a commemorative ceremony releasing a wreath into Corpus Christi Bay.
Our Flags for Heroes program honors all types of heroes. Whether they are first responders, veterans, or simply a grandparent, this event for the entire community sets out hundreds of flags along bayfront parks honoring our heroes.
