Since its inception, The Rotary Club of Lubbock has been striving to live up to the

Rotary four-way test and the ideals of Rotary and offer a helping hand to the community

whenever possible. Thousands of volunteer hours and hundreds of thousands of

dollars have been devoted to projects for the betterment of the community, including

the Rotary Cerebral Palsy Center and the South Plains Food Bank which have been the

club's primary community service projects. Some of the other projects the club has

undertaken include a contribution toward the financing of a Goodwill Industries

Sheltered Workshop; the purchase of a chapel at the Lubbock State School for the

Mentally Retarded; Lubbock Meals on Wheels; Tornado Disaster Relief Funds for

communities in Texas, Mexico, and Colombia; a contribution to the Health, Hunger,

and Humanities Fund of Rotary International, and Rotary Youth Leadership Awards

(RYLA). There have been literally hundreds of other service activities through the

years which have been initiated and supported by The Rotary Club of Lubbock.
