Service Projects
Mid-America Games
North Kansas City Kiwanis' members work one weekend every year helping host the Mid-America Games for athletes with disabilities. Members keep score, serve food, help the athletes move from event to event, and help underwrite the cost of ribbons.
Scholarships
NKC Kiwanis fund three annual $1,500 scholarships to deserving high school seniors. Kiwanis members spend hours reviewing applications to select the recipients. Members always attend the school's awards ceremony and the recipients and guests attend a Kiwanis luncheon in June.
Library Summer Reading Program
Each year, NKC Kiwanis serve lunch (for 700+ attendees!) at the North Kansas City Public Library Summer Reading “kick off” picnic. Kiwanis members volunteer many hours planning, cooking, serving, and cleaning up knowing that this project encourages our children to read throughout the summer months.
Healthy Families
Kiwanis members can always be found at the local Hy-Vee grocery store the Saturday before Mother's Day! We collect baby and children's food, items and money for Healthy Families. These donations, distributed through Healthy Families, support Northland families in need.
Family Health Clinic
NKC Kiwanis members bring hammers, paint brushes, drills and everything else needed to help with the work day at the Family Health Clinic. We've taken out walls, removed counters, and painted window trim (just for a start!).
