Medford Rogue Rotary Foundation was quick to respond to the Tsunami in the fall of 2005 with more than $57,000 in financial aid.  Through contributions designated to World Community Service, ongoing relief efforts there have included providing fishing boats to devastated villages and opening and equipping a school for local children.

In addition, the Foundation collaborated with the club's World Community Service Committee to manage the distribution of more than $21,000 to victims of the Katrina disaster in Louisiana in 2006.
