Welcome!

What is Kiwanis? This is a frequently asked question. The official answer is: "Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time." Simply put, we are your friends and, with jobs and professions like your own, yes, even retirees, who have volunteered to help the children and those in need. 

All of the money raised by us goes directly to our projects and some local charities e.g. School Dictionary Project, Special Needs Ice Show, Christmas In August and Wigs 4 Kids. No member of Shorewood Kiwanis receives a salary. All administrative costs are borne by means of the club's internal funding, like 50/50 raffles, Happy Dollars; fines and Birthday and Anniversary donations.

We shop with local merchants and encourage others to do the same. When you think of "Kiwanis", think of people helping kids and those in need.
