The Rotary Club of Rancho Cucamonga has updated its calendar for the second half of 2026, featuring a variety of guest speakers, community leaders, and special events. Members can look forward to presentations from Rancho Cucamonga City Manager Elica Cox, Council Member Ashley Stickler, and San Bernardino County Supervisor Jesse Armendarez, along with a special tour of the Police and Fire Station this October.

We’ll also wrap up the year with one of our favorite traditions—the Rotary Christmas Dinner at the historic Sycamore Inn. Be sure to check the Events page regularly for the latest meeting details and opportunities to connect, learn, and serve alongside fellow Rotarians.

July 31st was a powerful reminder of what service, generosity, and community partnership can accomplish. Thanks to the unwavering support and leadership of the Rotary Club of Rancho Cucamonga, 100 Alta Loma students are stepping into the new school year with confidence—and brand-new shoes.

The Happy Feet fundraiser, launched last spring by the Rotary Club in collaboration with the national nonprofit Shoes That Fit and Alta Loma School District, brought together families, staff, and community donors for one shared goal: to equip students with essentials that fuel success. Each child received a backpack filled with school supplies, six pairs of brand-new socks, and high-quality athletic shoes—delivered with care and smiles by our incredible Rotary volunteers.

We were also honored to welcome Allison’s Project, a local nonprofit founded by Gregory Quezada, who contributed supply-filled backpacks and treated volunteers and students to juice and donuts—a heartfelt gesture that perfectly captured the spirit of the day.

From planning to fundraising to distribution, the Rotary Club of Rancho Cucamonga truly exemplified their motto, “Service Above Self.” Their commitment made this vision a reality, ensuring students from all ten of our school sites start the year with comfort, dignity, and a boost of self-esteem. Shoes That Fit helped stretch every donated dollar further by providing discounted, brand-name footwear, making each contribution go even farther. These shoes, socks, and supplies represent more than back-to-school gear. They represent hope, compassion, and the profound impact of community service led by Rotarians who care deeply about children and education.

We are proud to share a few snapshots of what your generosity made possible. Thank you to the Rotary Club of Rancho Cucamonga for spearheading this effort—and to every partner who stepped up to make a difference.

Together, we delivered more than supplies. We delivered joy.
