So grateful to Kiwanis Club of Grand Junction for continuing to support our youth therapy program and along with all these wonderful nonprofits caring for our children. Thank you!!

Today, the Kiwanis Club of Grand Junction proudly gave $45,000 to local organizations that make a difference for kids right here in Mesa County!

Our mission is to improve the world, one community and one child at a time. We’re passionate about helping children and families in our own backyard, and we’re so proud to support the programs that lift them up.

Even though “Grand Junction” is in our name, we serve the entire county because every child in Mesa County matters. 💙

Thank you to everyone who supports our fundraisers and volunteers with us; you make this possible! 🙌

We are heartbroken to share this news with you. We recently lost our beloved Clinical Director Shawn Williamson to cancer. As we all grieve, he lives on in our souls, in our work, and in everything we do for our clients, our community, and each other.

We hope you will join us in keeping Shawn's beautiful memory alive, through love, humor, and genuine care for the people around you.

When we know more about how to support his family, we will share that with you also. ❤
