The Southern Harford County Rotary Club (SHCRC) maintains a small, discretionary fund to meet unforeseen and emergency needs of children in southern Harford County. Distribution of such funds must be in conformance with our mission and vision.
- Our vision is to assure children of southern Harford County are secure, protected, thriving, valued, and nurtured.
