Previous & Recurring Projects

Food Banks: We volunteer quarterly at the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano County.
Art & Wind Festival: Our club participated in the Art & Wind Festival, San Ramon. Our food booth consisted of Baked Potatoes and Corn on the Cobb.
Youth to Youth: Youth to Youth was founded in 1982 in Columbus, Ohio, as a community-based drug prevention and youth leadership program focusing primarily on middle school and high school students. The goal of its many projects is harnessing the powerful influence of peer pressure—making it a positive force that encourages young people to live free of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. Our club hosted lunch for the attendees which involved setting up, serving, and cleaning up from their lunch break at Castro Valley High School.
One Warm Coat Drive: During the Christmas Holiday season our club supports San Ramon Valley Rotary club bag coats, sweaters, blankets for distribution to the homeless both in the Bay Area and internationally. This year girl scouts troop 32119 joined us as well!
Pickup with a Purpose: Each year, schools within the San Ramon Valley Unified School District find themselves with hundreds of clothing items in their “lost and found.” The DVSR Rotary collects the Lost & Found items from all interested schools. With the help of Interact youth and scouts, we sort the clothing, toss ruined or broken items, and redistribute what’s left to charitable organizations that serve kids and families.
Iron Horse Trail Improvements: We joined with other Rotary Clubs in the Valley to plant trees and shrubs at designated rest nodes along the Iron Horse Trail.
PACE School for Girls: The Club sponsors two young girl’s education through high school at the Piyali Learning Center in India.
Dictionary Project: >We join with the other Rotary Clubs in the San Ramon Valley to provide dictionaries for every SRVUSD 3rd grader.
Supporting local families in need during the holidays: through Toys for Tots and by providing holiday meal gift baskets.
