Chilliwack Rotarians to take part in global ‘Epic Day of Service’ in Chilliwack this weekend
CHILLIWACK — Rotarians in Chilliwack will unite with fellow members across Canada and the globe this weekend for the Epic Day of Service, an international movement focused on hands-on service projects, by giving back to Chilliwack through acts of service.
In Rotary District 5050, which encompasses Chilliwack, the Fraser Valley and northwest Washington, 40 Rotary clubs plan to mobilize hundreds of volunteers this Saturday, May 17 and connect with 21 community partners to meet various needs in their communities.
Since its genesis, the Epic Day of Service has grown into a global movement spanning seven countries including Canada, the United States, Brazil, Australia, England, the Netherlands and Bermuda. By 2024, the event had grown and expanded to seven countries, four continents, 21 districts, over 1,200 clubs and 36,040 Rotarians.
At a local level, the Rotary Clubs of Chilliwack, Chilliwack-Mt.Cheam, and Chilliwack After Hours are teaming up with Chilliwack Bowls of Hope and their Starfish Backpack school lunch program. Working at the Chilliwack Community Garden on Wolfe Road, Rotarians will address food insecurity, build community through volunteerism and collaboration, and feed local children and neighbours.
