We support Well-Help, our local food pantry, and are the chartering organization for Troop 414, the local Boy Scouts troop, as well as the local Cub Scout den.
Kiwanis helps with the annual Duke Pride Carnival by sponsoring a bounce house for students to enjoy. The proceeds from the carnival benefit Well-Help.
We help sponsor Wellington High’s community day where students spend a day providing community service work throughout the community. In 2025, we helped sponsor the first Dynamic Duke Shake program (above), in which 6th graders were treated to lunch with community leaders, learning how to interact with a handshake, eye contact, and a confident voice. The Dynamic Duke Shake is also a competition, in which each community leader selected one student from their lunch table to participate until one student came away with the “best in class” title.
Wellington Kiwanis is co-sponsoring a Bed Build event and fundraiser for the benefit of Good Knights, a county program that provides beds to children who do not have one. Together with the Wellington Masonic Lodge and the Wellington Eagles, there is a fundraiser on October 4, 2025, and an opportunity to build beds in front of the town hall on October 25, 2025.
This summer, as part of the Kiwanis’ statewide Governor’s Project to “Bee a Hero” by planting pollinator gardens, Kiwanis teamed with the Cemetery Board and Hook’s Greenhouse to create a 1600 square foot pollinator garden in a difficult-to-mow area along Cemetery Road. Also, Kiwanis members and Scouts cleaned up the greenery under the three “Welcome to Wellington” signs at the south, east, and west entrances to the village, and followed up by planting petunias and pollinator plant seeds to give the signs a bit of color.
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.
The annual MORRIS FURCRON PETERSON NUT SALE is the primary fundraiser that supports scholarships and awards for Wellington High School seniors as well as other youth-oriented community activities that the Wellington Kiwanis supports.

The community is building 100 beds so that no child in Wellington or Lorain County has to sleep on the floor, and we would love to have you help! The bed build begins on Friday evening, Oct 24 at 5pm with prep work for Saturday, Oct 25 at 10am. We'll finish by 2pm. Good Knights of Lorain County will distribute these beds to children who have need of a bed. Recently, another city built 91 beds - but being Wellington strong, we can do better!
