New Broward bus loop helps get homeless to critical services
August 4, 2025
We had a fantastic event on Friday, August 1, 2025, to officially launch the Rotary Connection! This 14-seat bus will provide much-needed transportation for individuals experiencing homelessness, helping them access essential services throughout Broward County. Thank you to everyone who came out to support this important initiative—we truly appreciate your presence and encouragement.
