As Rotarians we support many clean water projects around the globe to give communities the ability to develop and maintain sustainable water and sanitation systems and support studies related to water and sanitation.
 
On December 14th a Water Crisis hit close to home in Corpus Christi that initially impacted over 320,000 residents.  There was a “no water use” ban in effect.

 
 
Rotarians, Friends of Rotary, and children of Rotarians teamed up with fellow Rotarian Gustavo Perez, Business Administrator of The Salvation Army Corpus Christi, to donate and distribute cases of water to local families from a central distribution center.
 
On December 17th alone 1,919 families were served.
