A Look Back…Some Other Shoreline Rotary Projects

Tiny Homes Project

Recently Shoreline Rotary was actively involved in building tiny homes as transitional housing for individuals experiencing homelessness. Members and volunteers frequently collaborate at The Hope Factory in Seattle to construct these 8' x 12' wooden structures, which are then deployed to tiny house villages managed by the Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI)

Footloose Sailing

Shoreline Rotary provided over $45,000 in funding to help Footloose Sailing purchase a new sailboat to retire one in their fleet that has aged to a point where it’s no longer safe to use in their program. Footloose Sailing is an organization that takes disabled people out on the water and lets them sail up to a 45’ boat using special equipment designed specifically to enable the disabled, even quadriplegics, sail for the first time. It is an enormously rewarding program that improved the quality of life of those they serve.

PETS Project

PETS is an acronym for Personal Energy Transport System which are heavy duty carts, arm-powered by those who have lost their legs due to polio or war. Shoreline Rotary has raised thousands of dollars and invested just as many hours volunteering as wood haulers, painters, and packers. If you can imagine living your life on the ground in the third world, receiving a PETS cart is transformational and gives people a new lease on life – off the ground.

HEED Uganda

Shoreline Rotary has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in this project which has constructed water harvesting and storage systems for a population in Uganda, complete with a natural filtration and storage system. Structures from water harvesting provide shelter for schools, dormitories, health care, and sanitation facilities.

Housing Projects

Over the years, Shoreline Rotarians have traveled to Mexico, Guam, Belize, and Costa Rica to help build housing for the poor in an effort to alleviate suffering, provide hope, and serve our overall goal of achieving peace on earth.

Origination: Your Project Could be Next

Like all Rotary clubs, the projects that Shoreline Rotary get behind are brought to us by our members. There is no outside authority that mandates how we serve, it all originates from our members who care about something and motivate other people to join in service. After all, Rotary is all about Service Above Self. Do you want to make a mark, build a legacy, or lead people toward a service project? Then join Shoreline Rotary and let’s work together!
