History of K-Kids

K-Kids, a Kiwanis club sponsored program, has seen steady growth since its inception in 1990. Begun in Florida, where 1998-99 Kiwanis Governor Lamar Fisher developed the program and provided continuing support, K-Kids soon spread to other Kiwanis districts. As a result of its growth, K-Kids was adopted as a sponsored program on October 1, 1998. The first club chartered by International was the K-Kids Club of Brooksville Elementary School in Florida.

Today, in addition to the US, there are clubs in Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Canada, Italy, Jamaica, Malaysia, Martinique, Nigeria, the Philippines, and Trinidad and Tobago. There are over 600 K-Kids clubs across the world!

Below is a suggested list of items that these soldiers have requested. We are asking the family of Huber St. School to make donations. Deadline for donations will be October 31^st so that we can box the items and the soldiers will receive them for the holidays.
