Shorewood Kiwanis
Serving the St. Clair Shores and Grosse Pointe Communities


   

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 our charitable projects go directly to the charities we serve; e.g.: Wigs 4 Kids, Fishing Derby for Handicapped Kids, Hunter Safety, Salvation Army, to mention a few.

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.

Kiwanis International Logo - Contact our nonprofit organization in Saint Clair, Michigan, to develop a more serviceable citizenship and give primacy to the human values of life.

Shorewood members collect your “nickels” on the street corner when we sell peanuts in October and gourmet nuts at Christmas time. Then we use the "nickels" to help the community by doing such things as provide:

  • scholarships for graduating high school students
  • reading material for young patrons of the library
  • supplies for young mothers (diapers, cribs, car seats, etc.)
  • support for Sunday School and Summer Bible School
  • hunter safety classes for young hunters
  • suntan lotion for special needs children when they go fishing with local boaters
  • and lots more.



Every dollar that Shorewood Kiwanis collects from our community goes directly back to our community. Members pay administrative expenses out of their own pocket.
