We were glad to assist Kiwanis with the Diaper and Wipe donation.

Kiwanis Club of Metropolis members, alongside Rotary Club of Metropolis and the Metropolis Lions Club, joined forces to drop off donations to Hope Unlimited Family Care Center. This heartwarming effort from our club was a highlight of Kiwanis International's Celebrate Community Week, showcasing the power of teamwork and goodwill. Together, we’re making a difference!
