The Kiwanis Club of Kirkland wants everyone in our community to be safe, therefore we have cancelled public events including our Annual Easter Egg Hunt and a major fundraiser, the Annual Pancake Breakfast usually held in May.
President Michael Marquess stated, “In the meantime, we are working behind the scenes as best we can to support our beloved community and it’s children.” The Kirkland Kiwanis Foundation made a significant donation to Nourishing Networks, the local group that helps feed school children in need during school breaks. These kids normally get free breakfast and lunch at school. With the recent school closures, the situation is urgent for these children and their families. If you would like to support Nourishing Networks, go to www.kirklandnourishingnetwork.org or email lynetteapley@hotmail.com.
The Kiwanis mission statement is “serving the children of the world.” We miss our community interaction but continue to do our part for the children of Kirkland. Please help if you can and join us in helping kids locally that need our help most. For more information visit www.kirklandkiwanisfoundation.org or donate through Venmo at Kirkland Kiwanis Foundation.
