A special thank-you to Kyle DeGood, Founder and Executive Director, and Catherine Hale-Elliott, Administrative Coordinator, of the DeGood Foundation for joining us at our Kiwanis speaker’s meeting tonight!

They shared their Foundation’s wonderful work to promote children’s literacy in our community. If you have young children—or know a family with children under 5—these folks help local families receive free books through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. 📖❤️

Interested in supporting this great cause? Donations are a wonderful and very affordable way to help put books into the hands of local children!

Thank you, Kyle and Catherine, for all you do to help our community’s youngest readers! 🌟

Hi friends! Yesterday’s severe storm hit THRIVE hard. During the peak of the storm, a tree fell directly on THRIVE’s box truck and two vehicles in the parking lot. Thankfully, no one was injured, and for that we are incredibly grateful.

Our box truck is used every single day. It picks up food, moves donations, delivers supplies, and helps us serve families across our community. It truly helps move our mission forward. Thankfully, we have full insurance coverage, so prayerfully everything will work out. We ask our partners, clients, and friends for patience and understanding as we navigate the next steps.

If you’ve been to THRIVE, you know our lot is covered in big, beautiful trees that create a scenic canopy and give our nonprofit an oasis-like feel. They provide shade, beauty, and a sense of calm for the clients, volunteers, and staff who come here seeking help, hope, and connection.

But this year, these trees have also presented some real challenges, and we know that several may need to be removed. Please keep us in your prayers as we make difficult decisions about how to preserve as much of this natural beauty as possible while ensuring a safe environment for everyone who comes to THRIVE.

Moments like this remind us that THRIVE is powered by our community. Through your support, encouragement, prayers, volunteerism, and generosity, we are able to weather unexpected challenges and continue serving our neighbors in need. Thank you for standing with us, and those we serve, especially when the storms of life hit. ❤️

Today, members of the Kiwanis Club of Greater Hilton had the privilege of serving our community at THRIVE Peninsula! 💙

Our volunteers welcomed clients with a smile, helped guide them through the pantry shopping process, stocked shelves, checked clients out, loaded groceries into their vehicles, and even folded bags to help keep everything running smoothly.

Service is at the heart of what Kiwanis is all about, and we're grateful for the opportunity to partner with THRIVE Peninsula as they provide essential support to families throughout our community.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and energy today. Together, we're making a difference—one act of service at a time!

We are so fortunate that our club has incredible members including Lorain Cosgrave, who just celebrated her 35th year of providing a fun venue to share laughter on the Peninsula. Did you know that Cozzy's Comedy Club is the oldest and longest running comedy club in Virginia?!
Our Kiwanis Club of Greater Hilton meets at Cozzy's on the first and third Monday at 6 pm every month to build upon our club's mission of "Serving the Children in our community". Come on by Cozzy's sometime to join us and grab a comedy show on the weekends!
Thank you for joining us, Mayor Phillip Jones!

Happy 35th Anniversary to Cozzy's Comedy Club!

It was a pleasure to join the celebration and recognize 35 years of bringing laughter, entertainment, and unforgettable memories to our community. Thank you to Ms. Lorain Cosgrave for the invitation and for your continued commitment to Newport News.

Here's to many more years of laughter and success! 🎭❤️
