Every child deserves the joy of a trip to the park—and the chance to enjoy a swing! 💙

As mayor and a longtime Kiwanian, I’m proud to share that the Kiwanis of Riverview has donated a new adaptive swing at Memorial Park, helping children and individuals with special needs enjoy our parks alongside their families and friends.

A big thank-you to Kiwanis Board Member Brenda Tuttle for recognizing the need and helping make this happen, and to Recreation Director Todd Dickman, Play Environments Design and Allen’s Trophy for their support.

This project continues the Kiwanis’ long history of serving Riverview. For generations, our members have supported children and families through school dictionaries, youth leadership programs, holiday assistance and projects that make our community more welcoming.

**We’d love to have YOU help write the next chapter!** If you care about Riverview and want to make a difference, come meet our members, share your ideas and see what Kiwanis is all about. You don’t need a special talent—just a willingness to lend a hand and a heart for helping others.

📍 **Atria Kinghaven**
📅 **First and fourth Thursdays of each month**
🕕 **6:15 p.m.**
☎️ **Contact President Diane Kinlen at 734-283-4552**

Join us and help carry on a Riverview tradition of service—one child, one family and one project at a time!

🥣🌟 Riverview Comes Together to Fight Hunger! 🌟🥣

What an incredible display of community spirit!

On behalf of the Riverview Rotary Club, Riverview Kiwanis, and the Riverview Knights of Columbus, thank you to everyone who donated cereal during our Community Cereal Drive benefiting the children and families served by Children’s Hospital of Michigan.

A special thank you goes out to those who dropped off cereal at Riverview City Hall, the Riverview Veterans Memorial Library, the Riverview Police Department, and Riverview Community High School. Your generosity will make a real difference in the lives of local families facing food insecurity.

The cereal collected through this nearly month-long community effort will be distributed through Gleaners Community Food Bank and the St. Cyprian Food Pantry, helping ensure that children and families throughout our area have access to a nutritious breakfast.

This drive was a true team effort made possible through the partnership of Children’s Hospital of Michigan, Gleaners, St. Cyprian Food Pantry, the Riverview Rotary Club, Riverview Kiwanis, Riverview Knights of Columbus, Riverview Community High School Key Club, and so many caring residents who answered the call to help.

I would also like to personally thank fellow Rotarians and Knights of Columbus members Scott Williams and Bruce Kresslein, who devoted a good part of their Sunday to helping collect, sort, load, and transport the donated cereal. Their willingness to serve our community exemplifies the spirit of volunteerism that makes Riverview such a special place to call home.

When communities work together, amazing things happen. Thank you, Riverview, for once again proving that we are a city that cares for our neighbors and steps up when help is needed.

🐣💙 **Riverview Comes Together to Deliver Easter Meals with Heart** 💙🐣

This Easter season, Riverview once again showed what makes our community so special, we take care of one another.

Through an incredible collaboration between the **Riverview Kiwanis Club**, **Riverview Rotary Club**, and the amazing **Key Club students from Riverview Community High School**, ten local families were provided with complete Easter dinners to help make their holiday a little brighter.

This effort, led by Kiwanis President Diane Kinlen, brought together so many helping hands. From shopping and organizing, with support from Meijer employees, to picking up and transporting the food, it was truly a team effort. Special thanks to those who helped move everything to Seitz Middle School in preparation for distribution.

On Saturday, March 28th, volunteers from all three groups came together to unpack, organize, and repack nearly $700 worth of food. Each family received a full Easter meal, ham and all the traditional fixings, everything needed to share a special day together.

What makes this even more meaningful is the collaboration across generations. Our Key Club students brought energy and compassion, while Kiwanis and Rotary members provided leadership and experience. That’s what community partnership looks like at its best.

A special thank you to Matt Dominski, who coordinated with Riverview Community Schools to connect these meals with families in need. The gratitude from the recipient families says it all.

As Kiwanis President Diane Kinlen shared:
*"Even in the strongest communities, there are neighbors who need a helping hand from time to time, and Riverview always steps up."*

Since 1967, the Kiwanis Club of Riverview has helped serve more than **1,200 families** through its Easter and Thanksgiving meal programs, a legacy of compassion we can all be proud of.

👉 If this story inspires you, consider getting involved with Kiwanis, Rotary, or supporting our Key Club students.

Because in Riverview, we don’t just live here, we look out for each other. 💙

Our Riverview Club may have collected the least, but as a group of Kiwanians, pretty impressive. Thank you the Riverview Community High Schools Key Club and the Seitz Middle School Builders Clib for their valuable assistance.
