About Our Club

In 2015 Kiwanis International celebrated

its 100th Anniversary with over 8,400

active local clubs in 96 countries.

Hands-On Service                                                  Planting trees, painting rooms at the Kiwanis Family House, making dolls for the children’s ward at UCD Med Center, feeding the homeless, cleaning creeks, bell ringing for the Salvation Army, and helping the students in our youth leadership programs at 8 different schools in the Sacramento area are some of the ways our club stays in contact with the community. Kiwanis Family House KFH is dedicated to providing temporary housing for families of seriously ill or injured patients being treated at the UC Davis Medical Center or at Shriners Hospital in Sacramento. Our Foundation The Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Greater Sacramento Kiwanis.  All funds raised in the community are directed to the Foundation, a 501 C (3) charity. Each year we raise funds in the community. Our major fund raiser is our Crab Feed in February. Other events include our Sept Speakeasy and Spring bus trips. Sponsored Leadership Program (SLP) High school Key Clubs are sponsored by Kiwanis  clubs. Key Club assists Kiwanis in carrying out its mission to serve the children of the world. Members of Key Club perform acts of service in their communities, such as cleaning up parks, collecting clothing and organizing food drives. They also learn leadership skills by running meetings, planning projects and holding elected leadership positions at the club, district and international levels.
