What a meeting we had on Tuesday! 🌟

We started the evening hearing from three Westfield Middle School 8th graders who received scholarships to travel to Washington, D.C. these students stood up, spoke from the heart, and shared what the trip meant to them. Of everything they saw, the Holocaust Memorial left the deepest mark on all three. It's a powerful reminder of why we invest in these experiences for our kids: some lessons you can only learn standing in front of history.

Then Suzanna Hobson, Executive Director of the Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank, joined us with a wake-up call. In a county as prosperous as ours, 22% of households are struggling with food insecurity. The Food Bank spends roughly $30,000 a week just to keep local pantries stocked, and those pantries are run entirely by volunteers, often able to open only about 14 hours a week. The need is real, it's close to home, and it's solvable, but only if more of us pitch in.

Here's how you can help right now:

Download the Community Compass app (https://www.indyhunger.org/compass/) to find resources fast Become a monthly donor to the Food Bank Spread the word about resources available to neighbors who need them Follow Hamilton County Harvest on social media Volunteer through hchfoodbank.org

Nights like Tuesday are exactly why we do this. If you've been on the fence about joining Kiwanis, come see for yourself, grab a seat, hear stories like these, and find out how good it feels to be part of fixing problems in your own backyard.

Our next meeting is Tuesday July 21st at 6:30 at Westfield Washington Public Library meeting room A. We will hear from Westfield Washington Schools Superintendent John Atha and Westfield Education Foundation President Ashley Knott. See you there!

Every member of the Kiwanis Club of Westfield has a story. A moment that made them say yes — to service, to community, to something bigger than themselves.

This month, we're starting something new. 💙

Introducing — a monthly series where our members share the moment they found their purpose in Kiwanis. What brought them here. What keeps them coming back.

We're kicking things off with none other than our Club President, Alexis Lowry.

Watch her share her why — and maybe you'll start thinking about yours.

Our hearts are with fellow Kiwanian David Cox, President of the Fishers Kiwanis Club, whose home was recently destroyed after being struck by lightning.

Thankfully, his human family is safe, unfortunately he lost two beloved cats and their home and they are now facing the overwhelming task of rebuilding after such a devastating loss.

At Westfield Kiwanis, our club funds remain dedicated to supporting Westfield children through our mission-based service work. However, we wanted to share this opportunity for any individuals who may feel personally led to help support a fellow member of the Kiwanis family during this difficult time.

If you would like to make a personal donation, you can do so here:
