Garden Upgrade at Rotary Manor
Posted on Jul 01, 2022
We were honoured to host our Rotary International President, Ms. Jennifer Jones, at one of our clubs biggest projects, Northwest Rotary Housing Inc. over the July 1st weekend. The visit to St. John’s marked the start of her Imagine Rotary Canadian Tour. Northwest Rotary Housing Inc. provides housing to low income seniors, single parents, and people with disabilities.

Successful 38th Annual Food Drive!
Posted on Oct 23, 2021
A big thank you to all who supported our 2021 Food Drive! We have been doing this food drive annually in partnership with the Salvation Army Food Bank and PWC High School for 38 years. We had to change some things this year due to Covid restrictions the last few years but the new model has been a big success. On Saturday, Oct 23rd we collected over 20,000 lbs of food as well as cash and gift cards! Thank you to Sobeys stores and Coleman’s on NL Drive for allowing us to set up collections sites outside their stores. A big thank you to the general public for your generous donations! The impact of the very successful day will go on as vulnerable individuals & families receive help from the Food Bank in the weeks ahead.
 
We are proud to have played a role in the Salvation Army Ches Penney Centre of Hope becoming a reality
Posted on Nov 11, 2020
Rotarians of the Rotary Club of St. John’s Northwest are proud to be people of action. A part of that action was our multi-year commitment in 2012 to help provide six figure seed funding to the Salvation Army Ches Penney Centre of Hope. This funding commitment was a catalyst for getting the project off the ground and it is wonderful to see the project now a reality. The Salvation Army Ches Penney Centre of Hope will provide housing for the homeless, food bank and feeding programs, health services, employment training  and other supports to those in need . Rotarians are people of action, helping others.
