Serving the Children of the World
Thanks to our Kiwanis Family volunteers and local businesses, who provide sponsorship, our Kiwanis Club is able to give 100% of the net proceeds to local organizations in support of their efforts with children in the community.
Part of the proceeds also support our club’s Service Leadership Programs (William & Mary CKI; Jamestown, Lafayette, and Walsingham Key Clubs; the Aktion Club for adults with developmental disabilities; K-Kids at Matthew Whaley Elementary School; and Bring Up Grades programs in several elementary schools).
Our mission is to maintain an outreach center in the Grove area of James City County in order to minister to the physical and spiritual needs of the poor and disadvantaged in the community.
Dream Catchers Therapeutic Riding Program Dream Catchers provides life changing equine assisted activities and therapies to children with special needs. More than 522 children were served last year alone.
Children’s Library Project The project to establish the Idea Center . WRL will be renovating the children’s area at the James City County Library to offer community science and art activity stations and interactive programs in addition to collections of great materials. This initiative will expand the library’s role as a place to engage and learn. This project’s participants include the Colonial Capital and Toano clubs as well as the Capital District Foundation. This is a five year commitment which the club agreed to fund through our annual Headliner’s grant program.
The Kiwanis Club of Williamsburg also provides financial support to the following organizations: The ARC of Greater Williamsburg; Kiwanis Southeast Region Fishing Clinic; Cub Scout Pack and Boy Scout Troop; and the William & Mary swim and diving squads annual James River Swim to benefit the American Cancer Society.
The needs in our community are greater than ever before. All service clubs and foundations struggle to meet the needs of so many worthy causes that depend on charitable giving for their operating budgets and survival of some of their programs.
