YONKERS PIC: The Yonkers Rotary Club has been involved in local and international projects since 1920

The Yonkers Rotary club’s motto is “service above self”

Yonkers Rotary is helping communities near and far. It has provided scholarships to deserving Yonkers high school graduates, helped victims of the Hawley Terrace Fire, built a playground at Yonkers School 9.

The club headed by Steven Simpson has given iPads for autistic children and library books for the Eugenia Maria de Hostos School, provided pencils to every Yonkers first grader, donated books to the Yonkers Public Library, and supported various local community and youth organizations and soup kitchens.

They were also instrumental in rehabbing a #Yonkers basketball court and helping fund a walk-in cooler for the YCAP food pantry.
