 Henry Sibley's Key Club received a generous donation from the South Robert Street Business Association for their Backpack Program. This program fills backpacks with foods for students in need to take home over the weekend, guaranteeing a good meal at their home.
Thank you to all the Key Club kids who made this program a success, and a HUGE thank you to South Robert Street Business Association for seeing the value in this beneficial program, and providing funding to keep it running. Together, we can make a difference!  Did you know Neighbors Inc pairs families or seniors with willing donors to help make their holiday bright? This year Kiwanis is adopting two families again, to donate gifts to. Our Kiwanis Club wants children everywhere to have a happy, fun-filled holiday, and this is one way we accomplish that!
This year Neighbors Inc is changing it up to make it easier on donors, by asking them not to wrap gifts. That frees up time and a little bit of money that can be spent on another nice gift for a child. If you are someone you know is interested in making a donation or adopting a family or senior, click the blue button below to learn more about the program! Neighbors Inc is always looking for more donors to help in a variety of ways. Thank you for helping kids in our community!  Another successful event at the YMCA's annual Trunk or Treat event! Close to 1,000 children came out with their families, and festive costumes, to collect candy from vehicles. 14 vehicles handed out candy during this event. Kiwanis members from Woodbury and North Suburban clubs were also present. Thank you to everyone who came out and/or donated candy to this family-friendly, FREE and fun event.  Kiwanis is participating in the YMCA's Trunk or Treat event on October 18th. Kiwanis is looking for candy donations for this event, as last year it was VERY popular, and most vehicles ran out of candy early on in the event.
If you are able to donate a bag of candy or two to this fun, free, community event, please drop at: Stremski Insurance 1560 Livings Ave #101 West St. Paul, MN 55118 West St. Paul City Hall 1616 Humboldt Ave West St. Paul, MN 55118 YMCA 150 Thompson Ave E West St. Paul, MN 55118 Thank you for your consideration!

Hope to see you at the Santa Breakfast and Bake Sale on Sunday, December 1st located at Dakota Lodge (1200 Stassen Ln) from 9am-noon.  I hope everyone was able to make it out to the State Fair this year! The North Suburban Kiwanis Club, as always, had their delicious malts at the Fair, selling tasty, cool refreshments for just $5. Jim, our President, was able to volunteer at the North Suburban Kiwanis Malt Booth and actually met up with a previous Key Club member from Henry Sibley, Eva Doran! What a wonderful reunion! In the last 50 years that North Suburban Kiwanis Club has been operational, they have donated and given back over $2 million dollars to the local community! WOW! If you missed the malts this year, be sure to check it out next year.  Delicious malt being poured into a cup.  Sign of all the projects funded over the past 50 years, by North Suburban Kiwanis Club!
 Another great, successful community event! Wow! Almost 500 backpacks were given out at the event this year! The police officers did a great job grilling 700 hot dogs that were eaten gladly by the families and children who came out to Southview Park. On top of traditional recycling, organics (food waste, napkins, and special compostable hot dog boats) were collected and diverted from the landfill, making this event more eco-friendly! Unfortunately we had children that left without a backpack because the need was so great. If you are interested in donating school supplies in the future, please reach out to Laura with the West St. Paul Police Department: 651-552-4235 or lvaughan@wspmn.gov
