While cruising around in the 2024 Honda Passport TrailSport, Michelle Mitchell from Kunes Auto Mall of Sycamore, had the pleasure of chatting with Lisa DeWitt, the energetic Director of the Sycamore Kiwanis Club.

The Kiwanis Club isn't just any club. It's a global force with a local heart, dedicated to helping kids across the globe and right here in Sycamore. With a spirit of generosity, creativity, and a dash of fun, they tackle big challenges like fighting disease and poverty. 

But it's not all about the global scale; it's the local impact that makes the Kiwanis Club truly special. They believe in giving every child the chance to dream big and succeed, making our community a nurturing place for the next generation.

Service is what Kiwanis is all about. Imagine this: 150,000 projects and nearly $100 million raised each year, all aimed at making a difference in the lives of children. And it's not just about the numbers; it's the personal touch, the local impact. From sponsoring clubs for kids and teens to leading initiatives like Meals on Wheels, the Kiwanis Club of Sycamore is all in on changing the world, one child at a time.v

Take the Key Club, for example. It's more than just a club; it's a movement. With about 100 members in Sycamore, they're throwing proms for senior citizens, beautifying schools, and so much more. These kids are learning the true value of community service, all thanks to the support and guidance of the Kiwanis Club.

Now, here's the best part – you can be a part of this!

The Kiwanis Club of Sycamore is always on the lookout for volunteers and new members. Whether you're interested in hands-on service projects or can help with donations, there's a place for you. 

Meetings are held every first and third Tuesday of the month, and trust us, it's time well spent.

What's next for the Kiwanis Club of Sycamore?

They're busy raising funds for adaptable playground equipment and launching a reading program at South Prairie School. And it doesn't stop there.

On the international stage, Kiwanis is fighting for maternal and neonatal health, proving that their heart and their impact know no bounds.

Whether you're looking to make a difference locally or contribute to global initiatives, the Kiwanis Club of Sycamore offers unique opportunities to give back, grow, and connect. Let's roll up our sleeves and help them make our community – and the world – a better place for our kids.

Remember, it's not just about the service; it's about the community, the friendships, and the joy that comes from making a difference. 

So, why wait? Get in touch with the Kiwanis Club of Sycamore today and find out how you can contribute to a brighter tomorrow. Together, we can drive change, one child, one community at a time.
