Kiwanis Club Partners with Local Schools

Back-to-school time can be challenging and difficult for many children in our community, especially if they are not equipped with the supplies they need to get the most from their education. To help make it smooth and rewarding the Hayward-Castro Valley Kiwanis Club recently met and  assembled sixty backpacks that will be offered through two CV Schools and the Salvation Army to students and families who find themselves in need.

The Kiwanis Club assembled the finished backpacks for delivery to the schools next month. The Kiwanis Club’s mission is to Serve the Children of the Community, and this tradition of providing backpacks to local students spans more than twenty-five years.

In addition to sponsoring and managing many community service events, the Hayward-Castro Valley Kiwanis Club charters and mentors youth leadership at three local high schools: Castro Valley High School, Kipp King High School, and Leadership Public School. The Club also has a youth affiliate club - Circle K – at Cal State University, East Bay.
