Through our Waynesville Rotary Foundation, we provide multiple academic scholarships to Haywood County students at Haywood Community College and schools in the UNC system. Scholarship recipients are nominated by school personnel and then a committee of Rotarians makes the final selections. Scholarships may be renewed throughout the recipient's academic years if performance measures are met.

Each Friday during the school year, Waynesville Rotarians meet the Manna Food Bank truck from Asheville and deliver in excess of 500 backpacks of meals to food challenged children within the Haywood County School system. Without this service, these children would likely not have food for the weekend.
Waynesville Rotary is a co-sponsor of this year’s Chili Cook-off on Saturday, February 15th. Multiple members are needed for 1 hour plus shifts at two sites. Members will sell armbands and merchandise and act as Ambassadors for Waynesville Rotary. For more information, visit https://haychili.org/
We'd love to hear from you and invite you to join us as a provider or to make a referral of a Veteran or their family member in need!
