Community Service

We support Well-Help, our local food pantry, and sponsor the local Boy Scouts troop.

Kiwanis helps with the Duke Pride Carnival, serving breakfast and sponsoring a bounce house for students to enjoy. The proceeds from the carnival benefit Well-Help, the local food pantry.

We help sponsor Wellington High’s community day where students spend a day providing community service work throughout the community. Our sponsorship helped feed students and provides t-shirts.

In addition, Kiwanis works with Oberlin Community Services each month and delivers food packages to income-eligible Wellington residents. As Kiwanians, we also assist other local civic organizations by providing volunteer manpower with their main civic events, including bell ringing for the Salvation Army Wellington Service Unit and Main Street Wellington. 

Wellington Kiwanis presented with Key to the Village of Wellington (2024)

Although receiving awards is not the reason Wellington Kiwanis serves the community, the club’s service over the past 100 years has not gone unnoticed. At the 2024 State of Wellington breakfast as Village Council president Gene Hartman (left) looks on, Mayor Hans Schneider presented Kiwanis with a Key to the Village of Wellington in recognition of a century of community service. President Carol Burke received the honor on behalf of all Kiwanians – past, present, and future.
