The Kiwanis Club of Pekin had a record-breaking effort at this year’s Marigold Festival thanks to YOU! With a new menu item of caramel mixed with cheddar popcorn, the impact felt in our community is more than ever before. Thank you to the incredible team of poppers, baggers, and cashiers for making it possible to serve the children of Pekin.

Maybe you wonder where the dollars go. Kernel by kernel, every bite makes a difference. Grants to a variety of local organizations impacting the lives of children will go out and create opportunities for the kids of our community to thrive. The mission of all Kiwanians is to serve the children of the world. Here in Pekin, this looks like grants for equipment, books, scholarships, and so much more. 

Thank you to our amazing community for continuing to support our fundraising efforts. All year long, we look for new ways to invest in the children of Pekin. This is only possible because of you. What a delicious way to make a difference! If you would like to join the fun, please come to lunch at the Miller Center on Tuesdays at 11:30 am and learn more about your community and how to join us as we serve the children of Pekin!
