The Whitewater Kiwanis Breakfast Club donated $1,250 to the Whitewater Unified School District to purchase shoes and winter clothing for children in need.

Whitewater Kiwanis Breakfast Club President Patrick Taylor said, “Shoes and winter clothes are a basic necessity, and our club is so happy to be able to provide them for children in need in our school district. Helping children in Whitewater is central to our mission.”

Kiwanis Whitewater Breakfast Club is made up of dedicated volunteers who help children in the Whitewater community and the world, all with funds raised going directly to projects helping improve the lives of children in the community and the world. Each year, the club distributes approximately $20,000, with over half going to the Whitewater Unified School District, including shoes and scholarships. Kiwanis helped to build the Flowing Well Shelter, the shelter and playground, including the soon-to-be-installed accessible equipment, at Starin Park and Treyton’s Field of Dreams, the WHS football field lights and press box, as well as adopting a highway to clean up. In addition, the group donates to the Whitewater Youth Soccer Club, the Friends of the Whitewater Aquatic and Fitness Center Family Partnership Fund, the Whitewater Food Pantry, Bethel House, Camp Wawbeek, and more. More information can be found on the Whitewater Kiwanis Breakfast Club Facebook page. If you are interested in joining the club, helping the children and having fun at the same time, contact us!
