Service Stories

We have gathered stories highlighting recent services activities here:

The Rotary Club of Parker has a long-standing relationship with ShelterBox, an international organization that provides shelter-related supplies to locations that have suffered natural or human disasters.  In response to the recent devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, the club sent $10,850 to ShelterBox to help them provide their boxes of supplies to people whose homes were destroyed or damaged.  The funds came from

  • donations from individual club members
  • funds from the International Committee of the club
  • matching funds from the club's Foundation.

For even more information on this donation to support the work of ShelterBox, check out this great article in the Parker Chronicle!

One of the local organizations where we volunteer regularly is Project CURE, whose world headquarters is in Centennial.  We help sort the donated medical supplies and then get the supplies into the right bin.  Here is the crew from August 2026, having cleaned up our sorted items. No medical expertise needed!  If this sounds like fun to you, check out Project CURE's volunteering page.

For a recent news update on the work of Project CURE, check out this July 27 news story from Denver's 9News.

One of the projects we have worked on over the past year is installing solar lights around the Affinity Ranch property.  Affinity Ranch is an equestrian therapy ranch just east of Parker.  The final lamppost went in on June 26!  Many thanks to THIS crew and to all the other crews that made these improvements.

The Rotary Club of Parker had the fun of supporting our community by staffing one of the beverage tents at Parker Days.  We were right by one of the stages and could dance along to the music!

We once again thank the Parker community for your generous support of the food drive for the Parker Task Force on June 6. This man donated the entire cart of groceries!  The Rotary Club of Parker was stationed at the Stroh Ranch King Soopers, where we collected 

  • 67 boxes of food
  • $697 in cash and gift cards
  • 41 pounds of chicken and 35 pounds of ground beef
  • 67 pounds of butter and 63 packages of sliced cheese
  • 41 gallons of milk
  • 11 packages of hot dogs

We had a lot of support from Rotarians, family and friends.  Check out this slide show with our smiling crews!
