Do you love to give service to others? Are you focused on helping our community by helping our kids?
#KidsNeedKiwanis
Who are we? We are community members that join forces to help our children and community by providing service projects and activities.
We have been in existence for almost 95 years in Richmond (Kiwanis International is now 103 years old). We meet at the 19th Hole Restaurant, Shirkey Golf Club, Richmond, MO on TUESDAYS for lunch, great conversations and usually a worthwhile program.
We gather at 11:45 and ring the Bell at 12:15. Meetings end at 1 pm.
Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. Please consider joining us.
Welcome to the Club!

Mom's Day Baby Shower was held on April 28, 2018 - 9AM to 3PM.
We was held again at our own Richmond Walmart for six hours. The collected money for diapers along with other baby and new mom supplies were distributed as in the past to various agencies that serve new moms in our community. The generosity of our community has been amazing. Thank you to all that help make this a successful "signature service project".
This is our 4th event. We are a part of the Region 1 of MOARK Kiwanis District, and the Region has been conducting the Mom's Day Baby Shower on the Saturday of Mother's Day for 19 years! The various clubs generally partner with HyVee Grocery Stores in the KC Metro area. We chose to move our date forward since Mother's Day was also the Richmond High School Commencement and a very busy one for our club members. Again, Thank You for contributing to our project.

Salvation Army Sorting:
Richmond Kiwanis teamed with the new Richmond Middle School Builders Club and completed several days of service in December for our own Richmond Salvation Army by sorting the donations so that they could actually walk in the back room and the dock. Bags and bags of clothing were sorted for usefulness and then put on hangers and placed in the store. Other items were sorted and determined their usefulness as well. The Builders Club had over 16 members serve over two days and our Kiwanis Club had 7 members help over five different days. WAY TO SERVE!
PAST EVENT -
Dictionary Project:
Richmond Kiwanis purchased and stickered over 200 brand new dictionaries and then delivered them to the third graders at Sunrise Elementary and at the Hardin-Central Elementary Schools in December. Thank you to all that helped with this project!
