Kiwanis Club of Polk City Donates to Family Support Programs

The Kiwanis Club of Polk City has donated $3,000 to Polk City United Methodist Church, Comets' Cupboard program, to help with providing food to community members in need during this pandemic event. In addition, the Kiwanis Club has donated $1,000 to the North Polk Community School District to assist with funding their grab and go lunch program that was operated by the school district during the last weeks of the school year, again to help families with food needs. Another $749.48 was donated to the Polk City Foundation to help causes the community foundation believes to be important and needed in the community.

Kiwanis Club of Polk City Awards Three Scholarships

On May 17, 2020, several members of the Kiwanis Club of Polk City presented three well deserving North Polk High School seniors $1,000 scholarships towards their first year of college costs coming up this fall. The scholarships were presented in the students' driveways with their families present, so all could honor the students' great work throughout their high school years. It was such a pleasure for the Kiwanis Club members to be a part of helping these hardworking students.

We also wish to thank the many community members who participate in our fundraisers each year, helping us raise the funds available to be directed back to the community, focusing on assistance to children and families!

Thank you!
