The Kiwanis Club of Durant has a rich heritage of service to its community of Durant and Bryan County, Oklahoma.

We are best known for our Annual Kiwanis Pancake Day but we pride ourselves on helping kids locally, nationally, and around the world. The Kiwanis Club of Durant was chartered on November 9, 1949.
