Around the House...

Since opening our doors in 1984, Kiwanis volunteers have served over 11,000 families that have come from all over the country and the world.

You can help to Sponsor a Family for a night for as little as $40. You can also sponsor a room in the new house or purchase a Kiwanis Family House Brick that will be used to pave the patio in the new Kiwanis Family House.

Another way to help is to review our Wish List for common household items that are desperately needed for day-to-day operations.

Update on Court of Dreams - The WNBA “Court of Dreams” program is an annual promotional campaign involving community groups from each of the 14 WNBA team market competing to sell the most tickets for qualifying local WNBA games.

The Sacramento area Rotary and Kiwanis clubs have won this contest the past three seasons. Plus, over $25,000 has been raised for the Rotary’s Polio Plus and the Kiwanis Family House from ticket sales. And thousands of deserving kids have had the opportunity to experience a Monarchs game through donated tickets.

This year our beneficiary is St. John’s Shelter Program for Women and Children. St. John’s mission is to support homeless women with children to advance from a point of crisis to a position of self-sufficiency. St. John’s Shelter Program for Women and Children is the ONLY shelter program in Sacramento County focused exclusively on women with children - the most vulnerable of the homeless population. Since 1985, the program has provided a safe and supportive haven to more than 23,000 displaced women and children. For more information go to: http://www.stjohnsshelter.org/
