Book & Magazine Drives

Several times a year, we collect books and magazines that are then provided to different organizations such as those imprisoned at the Waukesha County Jail or for people visiting the Brookfield Library as well as Literacy Services of Wisconsin.

Food Drives

We collect all types of food and dry goods for The Waukesha Food Pantry which in turn distributes the food to individuals and families throughout the year. 

Ronald McDonald House Charities

Four times a year, we volunteer at The Rondald McDonald House in Milwaukee that is a home away from home from families whose children are receiving medical treatment locally.

Elmbrook Rotary Club was an early donor in the drive to build the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts. Dedicated to arts education and enrichment, the Center offers classes, performances, exhibits and lectures in visual and performing arts, as well as vital performance space for local area schools and students.
