What We Do

Anchor House – Affordable transitional housing for former foster youth

In addition to volunteering with the Habitat for Humanity build of Anchor House, our club provided the common room & outdoor furnishings for Anchor House with grants received from the Kiwanis Children’s Fund and the Rocky Mountain District Kiwanis Foundation. We continue to support them through resident mentorship opportunities and move-in kits as the residents transition on their path to independence.

Fill a Backpack for A Precious Child

Every year, our Kiwanis club purchases school supplies and fills backpacks for A Precious Child that are given to children in need of them. Over the years, we have supported A Precious Child on several of their outreach programs.

Move-In Kits for the DreamMakers Project

The club supported the DreamMakers Project, which supports youth aging out of foster care, with move-in kits from purchased and donated household items. We now supply these kits to Anchor House.

Arapahoe Ridge Elementary Giving Tree

Our Kiwanis club organizes an annual community giving tree for the families the school identifies as the most in need, so that these children feel supported by their community. For this effort, our club won the Signature Project contest for the Rocky Mountain district in 2020.

Support local school districts

Our Kiwanis club collects winter coats, hats and mittens for the families in need in collaboration with family counselors at several Adams 12 local schools.

Teacher Appreciation Contest

For the last two pandemic-filled years, our club was able to remotely conduct a Teacher Appreciation contest where ten teachers were selected from the nominations received and were given an appreciation basket and publicly recognized for their amazing efforts during the pandemic.

Healthcare Appreciation Cards

Our Kiwanis Club set up collection boxes on member’s porches to collect cards of thanks for local healthcare workers serving our community during the Covid-19 crisis.

Adams County Caseworker Appreciation Luncheon

Adams County foster care case workers do SO MUCH! With a grant received from the RMDKF and support from our corporate sponsors, the club was able to thank them with a luncheon for national case worker appreciation month in March of 2020.
