This evening Nyla from Raising Solo spoke to our club about her organization and this upcoming event. Please support families this Christmas!

“Last year, you helped us collect over 100 toys for solo parent families, and we’re ready to do it again! 🎄✨

Whoville: A Village for Every Family is coming this December, and we need your help to reach 100 toys. Scan the QR code to shop our toy registry. Every toy goes to a solo parent family.

At Whoville, parents pick out a gift for their child, wrapped on site or bagged to wrap at home. Families also get a Christmas photo with Santa, a bag of groceries, and a chance to connect with local organizations and resources. 🎁

Help us make this holiday season a little brighter for families in our community. 💜 Share this post with someone who loves to give!

Every major change in a child’s life starts with a single page turn.

Imagine giving a child not just a book, but the confidence to read it. That’s what Kiwanis One Day 2026 : Read To Lead is built for.

There are no speeches or sales pitches — just a great morning spent reading to children, handing out fresh book packs, and making a real difference together.

We’re redefining what community service looks like across the Asia-Pacific. Forget formal committees or high-pressure commitments, this is about real human connection, direct literacy impact, and shared service.

📚 October is International School Library Month! 📚

A school library is so much more than shelves filled with books. It’s a place where curiosity is encouraged, creativity takes flight, confidence grows, and new possibilities are discovered.

Through literacy, learning, and access to resources, school libraries help young people imagine brighter futures—and Kiwanis is proud to champion opportunities that help children learn, grow, and thrive.

Because when we invest in young minds, we help build stronger students, stronger schools, and stronger communities. 💙💛

📖 Libraries inspire brighter tomorrows.
