How Kiwanis of Memphis helps kids
Adopt-A-School—Kingsbury Elementary
Volunteers read to students at lunch to help them improve their reading scores. We also assist with book fairs, provide bikes for reading program winners, and help purchase school uniforms.
Wheelchair ramp building
We partner with Habitat for Humanity to fund and build ramps for kids to have easier access in and out of their homes.
Camp Phoenix
Every year, we sponsor dozens of youth from the Boys and Girls Clubs so they can attend summer camp at Camp Phoenix.
Food for Kids BackPacks program
We provide financial support and help pack boxes of food for the Mid-South Food Bank’s backpack program. Backpacks contain enough nutritious food for six meals.
The Eliminate Project
As Kiwanians, we partner with UNICEF to raise money for lifesaving maternal and neonatal vaccines, health education, and safe birth environments for some of the world’s most vulnerable populations.
Key Club and Key Club scholarships
We sponsor Key Clubs at White Station and Overton high schools and award college scholarships to graduating students. We also support a Key Club summer leadership program.
City of Memphis Parks and Recreation
We volunteer to help make our parks and playgrounds safer and more beautiful for kids to enjoy.
AutoZone Liberty Bowl Water Boy program
Each year, we sponsor several children so they can attend an exciting Liberty Bowl college football game.
Annual golf tournament
We sponsor a golf tournament to raise money for our projects and events. Special Olympics athletes participate and lend us a helping hand.
