The Kiwanis Club of Danvers is a community service group made up of local men and women who volunteer to help meet the needs of those less fortunate, especially children, here in Danvers, and throughout the world.

 

Kiwanians come from all walks of life and from all rungs of the career ladder. They are unified in their belief that children, and their community, benefit from the efforts of a proficient group of caring and committed volunteers.

 

Our club has been incorporated since 1961, and since then we have donated over $450,000 to the Danvers community. As a service organization, we perform 4 main functions: Fellowship, Community Service, Fundraising, and Providing Scholarships. With over 50 members, we meet twice a month and discuss activities to participate in that serve our community. 

 

We also socialize with the other service clubs, as well as with the other members of our larger Kiwanis family through 6 Regional, District or International meeting opportunities each year.

 

Danvers Kiwanis raises money so we can make contributions to a variety of local Danvers programs Our general criteria for these donations are:

• Children: We look for organizations that help to develop / enhance children's abilities to learn, and grow up to be better adults

• We look to make donations that have a greater impact on the organization

• We support local - Danvers based organizations

• Our donations are for Cultural, Human Services, Capital Campaigns, and On-going / Annual Sponsorships

​

Through events like our Annual Rubber Duck Race (now a virtual race) we raise funds to increase our endowments in our Foundation account, so that we can continue to provide scholarships to High School Seniors as they go on to higher education.
