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.
