Investing in our future, one student and teacher at a time! 💙✨

The Kiwanis Club of Cypress, Texas is proud to kick off the new school year by giving back to our incredible community with two very special moments:

🍎 Supporting Our Hancock Elementary Teachers
Following last spring’s fire, we know how hard Hancock's incredible educators are working to rebuild, refresh, and prepare their classrooms. Kiwanis of Cypress was honored to present a $600 donation directly to Hancock Elementary teachers to help them start this school year off strong! ✏️📚

🎓 Celebrating Academic Excellence
Huge congratulations to Rice University student Sarah Nguyen, a proud recipient of our $1,000 Kiwanis Scholarship! We are so inspired by your hard work and can’t wait to see all the amazing things you achieve at Rice and beyond. Owls up! 🦉

A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated members and generous community supporters who make donations like these possible. Here’s to a strong, resilient, and inspiring school year ahead! 🌟

Snack to School! 🦅🍎

Our July Giving Challenge is officially live! This month, the Kiwanis Club of Cypress is stepping up to support the incredible teachers at Hancock Elementary (CFISD) as they prepare for the new school year.

Following a small campus fire that cut last school year short and forced a rushed move-out, these educators have an extra layer of organizing and restocking ahead of them. Let’s show them some major community love and ensure they have a fantastic, stress-free fresh start!

🧼 JUNE GIVING FOCUS: The Big Squeeze! 🧴💥

As we head into June, the Kiwanis Club of Cypress is launching "The Big Squeeze" toiletries drive! We are teaming up with Cy-Fair Helping Hands to completely stock their pantry shelves with essential hygiene items.

When families face food insecurity, everyday basics like shampoo, body wash, and toothpaste are often the hardest items to afford. We are collecting full-size toiletries to ensure their clients have plenty of product to squeeze, pump, and use—keeping our community clean, healthy, and cared for.

🛒 High-Demand Items Needed:

Family-size shampoo and conditioner

Body wash and bar soap

Toothpaste and toothbrushes

Deodorant

Lotion

🙌 How You Can Help Us "Squeeze" Out Scarcity:

1️⃣ Bring Them to Our Next Meeting: Drop off your physical donations at our upcoming club meeting on Thursday, June 11 at 6:30 PM at Spring Creek BBQ (21746 Tomball Pkwy).
2️⃣ Ship Directly via Amazon: Can’t make the meeting or prefer to shop online? You can purchase items directly from their needs list and have them shipped straight to the pantry!
👉 Shop the Amazon Wishlist here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/38QRIE0D6PVZW?ref_=wl_share

Thank you for your continuous generosity and for showing up with "boots-on-the-ground" love for our Cypress neighbors! Let's make "The Big Squeeze" a massive success! 💙
