Why we enjoy what we
do . . .
We are a cross section of the Le
Mars Community
Enjoying life together, while doing good for others. It’s
an expression of our values and the source of great
satisfaction as we laugh, encourage and strengthen
each other -- all with the goal of advancing the best life
can offer -- building our community through the
strength of a proven organization: Kiwanis.

We joined with the Rotary and Lions Clubs of Le Mars to
pack boxes of food for the THEN FEED JUST ONE. The
goal was one full pallet of food (14,256 meals) and the
goal was reached in 1 hour and 20 minutes.
We undertake several activities as a local club. The
proceeds from these projects are used to achieve the
support goals we have adopted.
Activity
•
The donut shop during the Plymouth County Fair.
Begun in 1977, this activity has generated
thousands of dollars for our projects.
•
The Kiwanis and Aktion Club help stuff plastic
Easter Eggs each year for the Le Mars Easter Egg
Hunt.
Project Support
•
“The Possibility Project” started in 2022. The goal
is to raise US $25 million dollars in 5 years. This
will affect the lives of 10 million kids. It is the
fundraising campaign that solely supports Kiwanis
Clubs and the children we serve. The main focus
is Health & Nutrition, Education & Literacy and
Youth Leadership Development.
Joint venture with
Aktion Club
The Kiwanis and Aktion Club Members
had a great time on Wednesday, Dec.
4th, making popcorn balls at the
American Legion Hall in Le Mars.
We made approximately 1,500 popcorn
balls in approximately 2 hrs. We had a
really good turnout and joining us in
making the balls were Pride Group
Staff, Kiwanis Spouses and Friends.
They were handed out at Pioneer
Village Christmas Wonderland on
Saturday & Sunday nights, December 7
and 8 and December 14 and 15 from 5-
8 p.m.
A big THANK YOU to the American
Legion for letting us use their hall.
Also, a big THANK YOU to Fareway for
letting us use their saran wrap machine.
We enjoy what we do.
We’re always looking
for others to join us.
Our club reflects our values and our
values reflect in our club. We welcome
all ages, men and women from every
background. The common ingredient is
people who desire to make a difference
in our community and the world. We
are committed to encouraging and
inspiring each other.
We welcome others who desire the
same for themselves and our
community. If you’re interested in
exploring Kiwanis, please let us know.
