Helping kids thrive!
- Our mission is serving the children and youth of our community.
- The long term impact of our service and fundraising is a community that has children who grow into adults who have a good foundation, were exposed to a variety of experiences, have learned new skills, and are able to contribute to the community.
- Our members love volunteering with other service oriented people, making new friends, participating in fun fundraisers and improving our community.

Our club focuses on community initiatives and children-centered projects, striving to uplift local children by fostering growth and empowerment for a brighter future.
Book Buddies - a Kiwanis member reads a book once a week to children at Trinity Day Care, inspiring them to read and learn.
Rock House Kids: Our members prepare dinner once a month for at risk young people and they serve it. Other times of the year they help when needed and in December they have fun wrapping Christmas presents for the kids.
Our Endowment Fund allows us to award grants to community organizations that support youth and our fundraising projects support Project Grants that are distributed to non-profits that also help children in the community.
We are also pleased to offer higher education grants through the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois. The current grant cycle is closed. Check HERE for the next grant cycle information and scroll to Kiwanis Club of Rockford Higher Education Grant for deadline and additional information.
Kiwanis Club of Rockford has given out nearly $2 million in grants through our Endowment Fund since 1990.

Budding Artists Gala - Mark your calendar for: Fri., May 7, 2027 - This is our biggest fundraiser of the year benefitting children in our community. Learn more about it here.
Meetings:
- 12/Noon on the first and third Tuesdays at Stockholm Inn
- 6 PM on the fourth Tuesday of the month at Sam's Ristorante on E. Riverside Blvd.
- Fifth Tuesdays are for social gatherings at places to be announced.
In addition to taking care of regular club business and announcements at meetings we host a guest speaker from the community to tell us about their business or organization. Networking with other members and having an opportunity to speak with the guest speaker are great ways to build community and relationships with each other.
Social Gatherings and Volunteering - Attending social events and helping at Kiwanis fundraisers or service projects are great ways to get to know fellow Kiwanians better in a relaxed and fun manner.
Contact our Club President, Lori, to find out when the next social event is for you to attend.
