Through the Programs of Service – Americanism, Community Service, Youth Activities, and our national project, the Prevention of Child Abuse – members support activities that benefit youth, promote pride in our country, and honor military and public service providers, to name a few.

A long-standing tradition and major fundraiser of the Club is the Annual Christmas Tree Sale which helps support many local non-profit organizations. Salem High School JROTC cadets help each year and earn credit at school for their community service.
Pinwheel Gardens
April is national child abuse prevention month and Exchange Clubs all over the country plant "pinwheel gardens" to raise awareness for this great cause.
