Kiwanis Club of Glen Ellyn

Welcome to The Kiwanis Club of Glen Ellyn, a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time, celebrating over 50 years of service.

Since 1954, the men and women of the Kiwanis Club of Glen Ellyn have contributed to the well-being of our community by giving time and financial support to a number of charitable organizations, educational programs, as well as to children and families in need. Members include community leaders, business people and private citizens who come together in the spirit of making a difference in our community. The camaraderie among our members is what has made this the area’s largest and most dedicated club.

To ensure that the legacy of our work will continue for generations to come, the Kiwanis of Glen Ellyn established an endowment fund in 1988 funded by the public and our members. Its purpose is to provide income to our foundation to carry on its charitable projects into the future.

The Kiwanis Mission & Vision

Kiwanis empowers communities to improve the world by making lasting differences in the lives of children. Kiwanis strives to be a positive influence in communities worldwide — so that one day, all children will wake up in communities that believe in them, nurture them and provide the support they need to thrive. Our club fulfills the Kiwanis mission by serving our community through our service projects and leadership programs.

Thanks to the Glen Ellyn Police Dept. for their help in putting together a huge “backpack party”!

Presentation overview:
John Harold, a People’s Resource Center volunteer ambassador. Over 22,500 DuPage residents rely on PRC for help each year offering nutritious food and other basic necessities like clothes and rent assistance for neighbors in need. PRC also connects people with resources –education and tutoring, jobs, technology, art, a caring community – to create a future of hope and opportunity for all.
If you caught the presentation, it was impressive! The PRC is turning 50 years old and they provide a wonderful service to the community (see attachments or call them and let them show you in person... Better yet, sign up to volunteer.) ... See MoreSee Less

Very interesting program on 5/20. Catherine Lynott, Executive Director; The Outreach House spoke about the needs of many DuPage County residents that surpasses just the food concerns. Think about the need for diapers as one of the necessities of family life. The following is a comparison of costs between disposable and cloth diapers.
Disposable:
Ease of use
Costly at approx $37 for 2 weeks use
Cloth:
Labor intensive @ 1+ hour/load
Laundromat @ $8-$10 per load
Detergent and bleach @ $2+
Lower cost @ approx $34/month
Need to have access to laundry eqpt. ... See MoreSee Less

Very interesting pro

Thanks to all that contributed to the food drive last Saturday at the Glen Ellyn Jewel on Roosevelt Road. Your generosity netted 1,031# of food and $666.50 in donations! The Glen House Food Pantry will put this to good use helping those in need. We also want to thank those who volunteered including Western DuPage Special Recreation Association (WDSRA), Key Club members and Kiwanis for taking time from their Saturday activities to make this a huge success! ...
