ROTARY CLUB OF FOREST
Serving Forest, VA & Communities Around the World Since 2003
Hurricane Helene has caused unprecedented damage across many areas of our District, with Unicoi, Greene, Washington, and Carter counties in Northeast Tennessee among the hardest hit.
Our district is partnering with Disaster Aid USA (DAUSA), a Rotarian-led disaster relief organization, to provide critical help in Greene County, TN. We will be assisting with mucking and gutting homes, tarping roofs, chainsaw work and debris removal. If you would like to contribute monetarily to our Hurricane Helene disaster relief efforts, please visit this donation page.
Our signature fundraiser is the Field of Honor, dedicated to honoring First Responders, Fire, Police, Active Duty Military, Veterans, and Health Care Professionals.
Funds raised are distributed directly back into our community through our Foundation. This year’s event will be held in September.
