Press Release:
The Kiwanis Club of West Seattle is bringing the spirit of service alive in West Seattle by hosting a caned food drive to benefit the West Seattle Food Bank on Saturday April 2nd from 9am to 3pm.
The canned food drive is taking place at West Seattle grocery stores including Metropolitan Market, PCC,
Jefferson Square QFC, Safeway and Morgan Street Thriftway. All West Seattle community members are encouraged to come out and support this worthy cause.
These activities are being held as part of Kiwanis One Day, a global volunteer action day uniting the entire Kiwanis family, including Kiwanis, Circle K, Key Club, Builder’s Club, Aktion Club, K-Kids and Kiwanis Junior. On this day, more than 15 volunteers are expected to join nearly 600,000 volunteers around the world in devoting a few hours to hands-on volunteer service. Kiwanis expects that Kiwanis One Day will contribute
nearly one million service hours around the world in just one day.
“We are proud to join our fellow Kiwanis family members around the globe to participate
in Kiwanis One Day,” said West Niver, Kiwanis Club President. “The energy, commitment and camaraderie surrounding this single day make the experience of handson service even more gratifying for our members as they make an immediate, measurable impact on the West Seattle community.”
Kiwanis One Day (“One Way, One Day, One K”) was designated by Kiwanis International in order to unite all youth and adult members from different parts of the Kiwanis family together in service.
