Success Stories

- In this project, 177 Kiwanis Family members got together to pack meals for the hungry and homeless population in their area. The project which tied into the Governor’s Project at the time was done through an organization called Meals of Hope. At the end of the project, more than 38,000 meals had been put together.
- CHOW NOW (Children Hungry on Wheels, Not on Our Watch) – Bradenton Christian School
