25+ Kiwanians Who Care is a new kind of Kiwanis Club. While upholding the mission of making a difference in the lives of children, our virtual club allows members to share their passions and gifts directly with organizations dedicated to helping children attain a better quality of life.
Our club encompasses members from across Indiana – and a few Hoosier-at-heart living further away. Similar to a giving circle, we gather online quarterly, learn about a trio of nonprofit organizations impacting children in Indiana and each direct a $100 gift to support the work of a chosen organization.
25+ Kiwanians Who Care chose nonprofit Visually Impaired Preschool Services (VIPS) as their inaugural Night of Giving winner. VIPS Indiana Regional Director and former VIPS mom, Meredith Howell, gave a virtual presentation to almost 50 Kiwanis members, all joining Zoom from various parts of Indiana due to the pandemic. Howell shared about the importance of the early intervention services VIPS provides for Hoosier infants and toddlers, ages birth to three, with vision loss across Indiana. Read more >>

Keith Gardner lives in the hills of Lawrence County, Indiana on 11 acres blessed with natural springs, abundant wildlife and a 3000 foot long cave!

What an honor to support Visually Impaired Preschool Services (VIPS) as our inaugural Night of Giving recipient with over $5,000! Love the work they do for kiddos and families all over our Hoosier state. We can’t wait until the grand opening of their new facility. What a treat to see Lola exploring this space with her trailblazing mom Meridith. #KidsNeedKiwanis Kiwanis International SCI Kiwanis Club ... See MoreSee Less
