Community Service

Community Service is one of the Avenues of Service which encourages Rotarians to offer service to their communities.

Service is the very core of Rotary's character. It promotes Rotary's appeal and visibility in the community, and why Rotary continues to thrive. Rotarians recognize the importance of giving back to the community. As Rotarians we have the reasonability to find ways to improve the quality of life for those within our communities and to serve the public interest.

Volunteering for a community service activity is a wonderful way to invite friends, family and community members to participate in Rotary.

Sign up now to serve our community, and remember... “Do Good and Have Fun”!

Community Service is for all Rotarians

The Rotary Club of Pleasanton desires to participate in local events that reflect the interests and character of all members of our club.  We invite club members to make suggestions for any events within the Tri-Valley area that you would like the Community Service Committee to consider for 2025 and beyond.

Pleasanton Rotary Clubs Work Together in the Community

Pleasanton Rotarians from the Downtown and North clubs come together over three Saturdays in March at Sunflower Hill Gardens in Livermore to construct a compost bin and handicap parking spaces.

Sunflower Hill creates places and spaces where adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) live, work, learn, and thrive as part of the greater community. In 2015, the Sunflower Hill Gardens at Hagemann Ranch in Livermore opened as a one-acre farm designed to provide educational/vocational horticulture opportunities to special needs individuals in the Tri-Valley.

Rotarians doing yard work in mobile home park

On October 26, 2024, the Rotary Club of Pleasanton kicked off a new "Fall Edition" of its' annual “Rotary Gives Thanks” event. Seeing the need to serve more seniors, Rotarians focused on two mobile home parks off Vineyard Ave. in Pleasanton to clean the yards for 10 residents. These are people that either cannot afford to pay for such services or are otherwise not physically able to do the work themselves.
