CELEBRATE WITH A CHILD (Service Project)
Kiwanis’ annual holiday party for local children. Kiwanis of Manchester proudly partners with local non-profits to give a memorable holiday experience to our guests. Kiwanis Manchester members serve as volunteers in many capacities to organize and execute this annual event. It’s a fun time of craftmaking, carol singing, sotroytelling, and more. The Man with the Bag himself, SANTA CLAUS even takes some time to visit with us. Many thanks to our partners, members of the Bedford, Memorial and West High Key Clubs and MPAL.
WALK WITH A CHILD (Service Project)
Each year in November or December, Kiwanis Club of Manchester invites children from local afterschool programs for an evening of shopping for winter clothes. Kiwanians are joined by partners from our affliated Kiwanis Key Clubs at Manchester West and Memorial, plus Bedford High Schools and students from St. Anselm College. All of us assist the kids with their “shopping.” A big thanks to Wal-Mart of Hooksett for hosting Walk with a Child. 2025 Photos
BOOK NOOKS (Service Project)
Kiwanis members maintain and supply books (provided) to 2 lending library locations in Manchester: Pulaski Park and Sweeney Park, supporting youth and teen literacy. This is done through book drives, regularly filling the libraries, and keeping them in good working order. It is anticipated that we will add more locations in 2024.
EASTER BASKETS (Service Project)
Every year around Easter we hold an event in partnership with the Manchester Housing & Redevelopment Authority to distribute Easter Baskets and gifts to local inner city children.
🐰🌷 Spring smiles are on the way for Manchester families!
The Kiwanis Club of Manchester is proud to support the 6th Annual Easter Basket Giveaway, helping bring joy to local children this spring.
