Happy 2026 from the Kiwanis Club of Pekin! As you envision your year ahead, consider joining an amazing group of your friends and neighbors as we serve the children of the world. We are waiting for you on Tuesdays at 11:30 am at the Miller Center of Pekin. Join us for lunch prepared by Taste of TCRC, wonderful speakers, the best planning sessions, and so much more! 

On Giving Tuesday, we gave away funds to several local organizations:  YWCA of Pekin Early Learning Center, Pekin Amateur Hockey Association, Shade Memorial Youth Camp, Center for Prevention of Abuse, Boys & Girls Club of Pekin, Pekin Altrusa Club, Speak Up!, Pekin Power, and Tazewell County Health Department. Thank you to each of you for sharing about the incredible work you are doing to serve the kids of Pekin and beyond! What a celebration to be able to invest in everything you do! 

We continued our giving spirit by ringing the bells for the Salvation Army and distributing the cheese our local community ordered to help us support the needs of local children. Rounded out with supporting local kids through a donation drive with CASA of the Tenth Judicial Circuit, our club had a lot of fun giving and giving and giving some more. 

If your spirit of generosity is strong, if you are looking for fun people to lunch with and get to know, or if you love volunteering for a variety of worthy efforts and do not know where to start, start with us!
