The Newtown Rotary Club was proud to participate in Newtown, PA’s annual Market Day! 💙 It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with neighbors, support our community, and share the positive impact we make together.

Market Day gave us the chance to share some of the work closest to our hearts: collecting food and serving meals for people in need, supporting students through leadership programs and school supplies, and raising funds for local nonprofits, supporting our Veterans, and emergency medical services.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to learn about our projects and ways to get involved. We’re proud to serve this community—and we’d love for you to join us! Please reach out at [email protected] to learn more!
