Our Projects

ABOUT OUR CLUB

As leaders in Houston, we understand the importance of supporting your community by giving back to help maintain a safe, healthy, and thriving neighborhood.
The Rotary Club of Harrisburg has been helping the East End of Houston for over eighty years by implementing programs to make a difference in our community.
From our involvement with the first baseball field at the local YMCA many years ago to our numerous youth programs we support today, we strive to give back to our community.
Here are just a few of the programs that Harrisburg Rotary supports throughout the East End neighborhood:

Polio Plus

A Rotary International project to eradicate Polio worldwide with a cumulative total of over $2.6 Billion in contributions since 1985. Our District has given $4,244,336 to this project. There were 14 cases of Polio in the world in 2022 located in Afghanistan and Pakistan only. In 1988 there were 350,000 cases globally
