The Kiwanis Club of Snohomish is a thriving, exciting, and fun group brought together by their common goal of giving back to the community. Kiwanis is an “global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child, one community at a time”. Located in almost 90 countries, Kiwanis Clubs total almost one half million members belonging to 13,000 individual clubs. Snohomish belongs to the Pacific Northwest District, being composed of clubs located in Alaska, British Columbia, Yukon Territory, Washington, Oregon and small regions in Northern California and Idaho. 10,000 plus members serve our District. The Snohomish Kiwanis were chartered in 1954 and are proud of 57 years giving both financial and service support to the local community. About 45 members strong, in recent years we have contributed about $50,000 and 1200-1400 hours of service time annually. Through our club and Foundation most of our energy is directed to serving the needs of youth. The largest beneficiaries of these efforts being the Boys and Girls Club of Snohomish, school scholarship programs and infant needs at the local food bank. Support is also given to scouting, Children’s Hospital, Future Problem Solvers and campfire Girls to name just a few. Beyond youth we also direct funds to the Snohomish Senior Center, Providence Hospice, Samaritan Family Counseling, MS, MD and CF programs. We also were major contributors in assisting the building of the Everett Olsen Youth Center and the Snohomish Senior Center. Recently the Kiwanis Club of Snohomish has joined with other clubs in the Pacific Northwest District to promote “Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Project”, a program to raise money to assist in finding a cure for CHILDHOOD CANCER. Funds in Washington are directed to Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation with the intent of promoting research in this field by supporting fellowships to research doctors.
