Community Service Committee

The Community Service Committee of the Rotary Club of Uxbridge is focussed on making a positive impact on the lives of citizens and on improving the condition of community facilities and programs.

Annually, the Club raises funds through a variety of initiatives, including the Trip-of-the-Month Club lottery, Uxbridge Rotary Christmas Home Tour, Rotary Scrap Metal Day  and most recently, the Rotary Bottle Drive, all of which enable the club to give back to the local community. The group co-operates with other local service clubs to enrich opportunities for the local community.
