After Hours
Life is more than just community service, and club members regularly kick back and enjoy some camaraderie. It might be a Halloween party or just a happy hour at a local pub.

Community Meals
Four or more times a year, our club members purchase and prepare dinner for anyone in the community who needs a hot meal.

Flags on Front Street
Kiwanis displays American flags on 12 annual patriotic days as a service to local downtown Issaquah businesses.

Fundraising
Whether it’s Virtual Bingo or the sale of See’s Candies and Brown Bear car wash tickets, we work to raise funds in support of local non-profits who meet our mission of support for local children and families.

Inter-Clubs
Four or more Kiwanians attend a meeting of another area Kiwanis Club to share ideas for community service.
