Home Page Stories

The Oceanside Rotary Club recently completed a meaningful community project in support of VisTAY, collecting and donating 26 sets of sweatshirts and sweatpants for the young adults they serve.

VisTAY is a vital local program that provides safe housing and supportive services for young adults—typically ages 18 to 24—who are experiencing homelessness or housing instability. Their mission is to help participants build independence, stability, and a brighter future through structure, resources, and community support.

Recognizing a simple but important need, Oceanside Rotarians came together to provide comfortable, everyday clothing that promotes dignity and well-being. For many of these young adults, something as basic as a warm, clean set of clothes can make a meaningful difference in their confidence and daily life.

Thanks to the generosity of club members and supporters, 26 complete sets were delivered—each one representing care, compassion, and a commitment to service above self.

This project is just one example of how Oceanside Rotary continues to make a hands-on impact in our community—supporting not only immediate needs, but also the long-term success of local youth.

Oceanside Rotary Serves at Ironman Oceanside

The Oceanside Rotary Club proudly stepped up in service at the annual Ironman 70.3 Oceanside, demonstrating our continued commitment to supporting community events and those who participate in them.

A team of 12 dedicated Rotarians volunteered their time to assist with athlete check-in, helping welcome and organize approximately 3,000 athletes from around the world. From distributing race packets to ensuring a smooth and efficient process, our members played an important role in setting the tone for a successful race weekend.

This event is one of the premier endurance competitions in the region, and Oceanside Rotary was honored to be part of the behind-the-scenes effort that makes it all possible. Beyond the logistics, our volunteers brought energy, enthusiasm, and a warm Oceanside welcome to every athlete they encountered.

Opportunities like this highlight what Rotary is all about—hands-on service, community engagement, and making a meaningful impact.

Service Above Self in action!

Dear Friends and Family,

THIS IS A BIT DIFFERENT. Often when friends ask for support, they're tackling a big personal challenge like a long walk or ride. Rotary is pioneering something new… a big service challenge to see how much good we can do all around the world all in one day.

OUR GOAL THIS YEAR is to organize 20,000 Rotary and public volunteers to serve in 1,000 communities on 4 continents. With our passion for Service Above Self, we'll soon expand to all 1.2 million Rotary members - plus public volunteers - in 36,000 communities worldwide.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

DONATE to support my Club's year-round projects. Rotary serves many community needs, like job training for the homeless… building neighborhood gardens… funding mental health programs… and more. Your generosity is magnified by our own donations and volunteering.
