Community

Dunwoody Rotary is committed to making a difference in our local community - filling needs not just in Dunwoody, but throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area.

  • We celebrate the City of Dunwoody - joining our Dunwoody neighbors in the annual 4th of July parade as a parade sponsor with both a float in the parade and a hot dog and baked goods stand at the family festival.
  • We provide volunteer support for the award-winning Dunwoody Arts Festival.
  • We support the Women and Children's Day Shelter of Atlanta - with school supplies, clothing, and special needs as they arise.
  • We have purchased wheelchairs through locally-based FODAC, and funded wheelchair repairs for those who cannot afford it.
  • We recognize the leading civil servants in the police, fire, and teaching arenas.
  • We support Challenger baseball and the Georgia Special Olympics.



The Rotary Club of Dunwoody takes part in Georgia's Largest Independence Day Parade located right here in Dunwoody!

Each year, we help decorate a Rotary float for the parade. About 10 members and family walk next to the float, distributing patriotic trinkets and candy to the thousands of parents and children lining the 2 mile parade route. Our club, also, hosts a Hot Dog Stand at the end of the parade that offers old fashion Hot Dogs, Cold Sodas and Fresh Baked Goods at the best rates around. We price everything really low to cover our costs and to keep the food affordable in order to feed as many people as possible.

A rewarding experience for our members and a great way to launch a new Rotary year!

The Dunwoody Arts Festival was voted the "Best New Event" by the Southeast Festivals and Events Association. The Rotary Club of Dunwoody serves as the major supporting partner of the annual two-day event. We welcome the artisans to the beautiful City of Dunwoody, help them with set-up and breakdown of their colorful exhibits, and serve as ambassadors to Dunwoody and the greater metro area.

For many years, the traffic island on Chamblee Dunwoody Road has been affectionately known as Bounds Gardens (formerly Monroe Park) in honor of Fred Bounds, a member of the Rotary Club of Dunwoody who provided the leadership to keep this tiny part of Dunwoody maintained and beautiful. At least quarterly throughout the year we gather at the "Park" to pull weeds, prune bushes, and lay pine bark as well as share good fellowship and a few donuts. Caring for this small part of our world is a point of pride for all Dunwoody Rotarians.
