On Saturday, December 6, our Kiwanis Rough Risers club partnered with the Cedar Valley JayCees to engage youth in Giving to Others - and it was a SUCCESS!
The Gift of Giving event is an annual event where we can provide elementary school children with the opportunity (and funds) to purchase Christmas gifts for their family members.
Early in the morning, over 60 children gather at a local UAW center, where they are paired with adult volunteers. Together, they travel to Blain’s Farm & Fleet, where each child is given a $45 shopping credit to buy gifts. After shopping, they return to the UAW center to wrap their presents, enjoy breakfast, and meet with our magical Santa.
This heartwarming event creates lasting memories for all involved.
