The Kiwanis Club of Monterey works all year to raise funds that we then use in multiple charitable ways. Our projects include:
- Funding the activities Key Clubs in local high schools
- Awarding generous college scholarships
- Distributing books for children to keep through elementary schools and little free libraries
- Providing financial support to scouting groups
- Funding special projects as requested by organizations within the community
We also:
- Help beautify our coastline by participating in the city’s Adopt-a-Park program
- Provide staff for city events such as First Night Monterey and the annual horticultural fair (AKA “Cutting Day”) held in Friendly Plaza every March.
- Participate in various Monterey County Food Bank distribution efforts
Our club meets on Wednesdays, twice per month at lunchtime and once per month for dinner, usually with an invited speaker from the community. Check our calendar for the latest details.
