The Rotary Club of Concord has a long-standing partnership with Open Table which supports food insecure households in 21 communities. Club members help transport locally grown vegetables and grocery items and prepare meals each week for delivery and curbside pick-up. Last year Open Table distributed 817,261 pounds of food. Over 70,000 meals were prepared. Of the 7,046 people served, 30% are children under the age of 18 and 16% are seniors age 65 or older.

The Concord Rotary Club is an active group of volunteers undertaking community service projects. We raise money for scholarships for local high school students. Each year the Club sends 10 sophomore high school students to a Rotary sponsored Leadership weekend. Club members also volunteer their time in the community: the Assabet Valley Boys and Girls Club, building beds for children who do not have beds, working with Habitat for Humanity and Minute Man Arc and cooking meals for senior citizens. The Club sponsors a Rotary Interact Club at the high school and Early Act clubs at Concord and Carlisle middle schools.
