Started out our Saturday Morning with Service!

This morning, 7 members across Key Club, CKI, and Silicon Hills Kiwanis came together for our Restock the School event. In just about an hour, we packed 20 backpacks 🎒with supplies for an elementary school in need and a few extras left! ✏️📚

It’s amazing what can happen when the Kiwanis family works together. Thank you to everyone who showed up, pitched in, and helped make sure local students have the supplies they need to succeed! 🌟

🌳 Service in action at Rosewood Park with the Austin Parks Foundation!

Three members of the Kiwanis Club of Silicon Hills; plus one little helper joined forces with the Austin Parks Foundation and fellow volunteers to give the trees at Rosewood Park some much-needed TLC.

In just two hours, we helped mulch around 25 trees! 🌳💪

A little teamwork, a lot of mulch, and one morning well spent caring for a park our Austin community can enjoy this summer!

We love opportunities to roll up our sleeves, serve together, and make a difference right here in our community. 💙

Our 4th and final Butterfly Festival with at Winn Montessori Elementary was one to remember 🦋💛

The Kiwanis Club of Silicon Hills loved partnering with such an amazing school to give students the chance to experience live butterflies up close, enjoy a free lunch - hotdogs fresh off the grill 🌭and get creative with fun crafts.

We were also excited to welcome 4 incredible UT Austin CKI members who volunteered their time and helped bring the butterfly exhibit to life; your support made a difference!

Moments like these remind us why we do what we do; community, connection, and creating memories that last. 🦋
