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.
We’re incredibly honored to share that the Kiwanis Club of Manchester NH has been recognized within the 2025-2026 New England & Bermuda District as both a ⭐ Presidential Recognition Club and a 📈 Club With Growth.

We’re also proud to celebrate fellow New Hampshire Kiwanis clubs recognized this year for their leadership, growth, and continued commitment to service. 💙
Kiwanis is built on service, community, and improving the lives of children — and we’re grateful to continue that mission alongside so many incredible clubs across our district.

The Manchester Kiwanis Club is proud to support McDonough Elementary School in Manchester by helping supply sneakers for the school’s Kids Closet program 💙👟
Having access to properly fitting shoes can make a huge difference in a child’s confidence, comfort, and ability to fully participate both in school and everyday activities. We’re grateful for the opportunity to help support students and families in such a meaningful and practical way.
A special thank you to Principal Ken DiBenedetto and Paula Alexander, the school social worker, for the incredible work they do each day supporting the students and community at McDonough Elementary. Your compassion and dedication do not go unnoticed.
Kids need Kiwanis — and we’re honored to continue investing in the children of Greater Manchester.
