Kiwanis Club of Danvers


History

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 70 members, we meet weekly for lunch and an update on activities that we can participate in to serve the community. Additionally, the club provides 8 to 10 social events for our members and their families; 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.
