Community Services
How we define community service: the act of identifying needs in the community and addressing these needs with service projects. The Buena Park Rotary Club has a fifty-year history of performing community service in our local community.
Community service is comprised of varied efforts that Rotarians make, sometimes in conjunction with other clubs, to improve the quality of life for those who live within the club’s territory.
