Members of the Rotary Club of All Nations took part in the Gun Buy-Back program sponsored by the Raleigh Police Department. The event was held on Saturday August 20, 2022 outside of the Mount Peace Baptist Church, and the program brought out more people than anyone had expected..Raleigh Police later said they had collected more than 270 guns.

​

Groups at the event said having a larger turnout than expected was a good thing. The President-Elect of the Rotary Club of All Nations, Gerald Givens, said, "It’s saying that people here in Raleigh hear the message that we want to be safe when we go to church, when we go to school, when we go to the movie theater."
