Welcome to the Kiwanis Club of Christiansburg!
What is Kiwanis?
Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world, one child and one community at a time.
This year, the Kiwanis Club of Christiansburg celebrates 63 years of service to our local community. This includes development of Kiwanis Park and starting the recreation program for Christiansburg. Over the years, Kiwanis raised funds and provided labor support to many youth organizations including: Boy Scouts, Red Cross, school safety patrol, Girls and Boys State, cheerleaders, sandlot programs and Christmas celebrations for local children in need, to name a few. Recently, the Club initiated and is currently supporting the Kiwanis Head Start Back Pack program which provides food for approximately 40 children each week.
The Club has worked with the four primary and elementary schools in Christiansburg to establish a Kiwanis Clothe a Child Program which provides funding for children without ample means to purchase needed clothing. In addition, working with the same four schools, the Club has set up a Kiwanis School Supplies Program to support those children who do not have money to buy their required school supplies.
2012 marks the fourth year with Kiwanis as the managing organization for the Wilderness Trail Festival which takes place each September in downtown Christiansburg. All festival proceeds directly support the youth of Christiansburg. To find out more about the Festival, visit www.wildernesstrailfestival.com.
