We are excited to share that we recently wrapped up our Kiwanis year, which runs from October 1–September 30, and the 2024–2025 year was one of our best yet! As a club, we put in 1,972 hours of hands-on community service. We donated $25,000 to 39 local nonprofits. We had 670 runners join our Jenkintown Sunset 5K Run — our biggest turnout ever! And so much more. 

Thank you to our passionate members and partners who make our community shine.

Our Book Train closed out the year with a total of 5,403 books! Most were donated to Mitzvah Circle and Jenkintown Day Nursery. If you have or know someone who can donate new or gently used books for kids ages 0-10, contact Janet Crawford via email at [email protected].  Pickup can be arranged. Infant or small children’s board books are especially welcomed. 

Our fundraiser for Alex’s Lemonade Foundation at the Jenkintown Festival of the Arts raised $1,466. Special thanks to the Abington High School Key Club for running the booth and selling lemonade and pretzels. 

The  Abington Aktion Club organized a summer “Share A Pair” drive and collected over 1,000 socks for kids and adults in need. The socks were donated to Foster Angels and Angels in Motion.

The Abington High School Key Club made over 100 cards of encouragement for The Breathing Room Foundation, an organization that supports patients diagnosed with cancer and their families. 

We hosted many wonderful organizations this last month through our weekly Speaker Series including Covenant House, MANNA, NAMI Montgomery County and The Breathing Room Foundation.
