Benefiting

Rotary Club of Mandarin was established in 1975 and is proud of our 48 years of accomplishments in the community promoting “Service Above Self.” With the valued support of our local businesses and residents, we have been able to provide significant financial support to charities doing great work – both locally and internationally.

With your help, over the last few years, we have been able to provide the Mandarin division of Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department with seven thermal imaging cameras, grants to K-9s for Warriors, donations to Polio Plus, a van to the Mandarin Food Bank at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, and thousands of dollars to dozens of other local charities.

Last year, we donated over $36,000 to local charities, including a combined $25,000 to the Mandarin Food Bank at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church and the Daily Bread Food Pantry at Mandarin Presbyterian Church. This year, we hope to do more!
