The winner of the $50,000 Rutland South Rotary Grant is Habitat for Humanity of Rutland County Vermont.

For more than 50 years, the Rutland South Rotary Club has raised thousands of dollars to benefit nearly 100 non-profit organizations both locally and globally. With a strong focus on local youth-centered programs, the club has distributed hundreds of dictionaries to third graders, enhanced the Rutland Creek Path for bikers and walkers, built an outdoor play area for students at Northwest School, and provided essential school supplies to children in need. And that’s just the beginning.

Recognizing that significant needs remain in our community, and in honor of our 50th anniversary milestone, the club is making a bold commitment: awarding a $50,000 grant to a non-profit serving Rutland County.

Since the 2005 inception of Wheels for Warmth by now Governor Phil Scott, the Wheels for Warmth program has accomplished three things:
- Recycling or reselling unwanted/unused vehicle tires. Keeping them out of Vermont streams and roads.
- Providing road-safe tires at an affordable price to Vermonters (VT Department of Motor Vehicles are on-site to verify tires that are sold will pass inspection).
- All funds from tires sales and recycling fees are donated to the Emergency Heating fund to be distributed throughout Rutland County to help folks who need it heat their home.
