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.
