Warwick Valley Rotary is a service club of community-minded men and women who assist non-profits with donations of time, talent, and money to improve the quality of life in Warwick and beyond. The original Warwick Rotary Club was started in 1922 but went inactive during World War II. The current club was founded in 1976.

Local Rotarians co-sponsor the August Warwick Senior Picnic in Town Park, co-host the Christmas Party for Needy Children, reward four outstanding high school graduating seniors with $2,000 scholarships, and donate $1,500 each to Winslow Therapeutic Riding Center, Warwick Humane Society, Backpack Snack Attack, food pantries in Warwick, Florida and Greenwood Lake as well as numerous health organizations, military veterans’ projects, plus activities involving student and youth groups.
