Kiwanis Club Orlando
Serving Central Florida children since 1921
Kiwanis Club Orlando is a community service organization where professionals,
retirees, students, and civic volunteers all come together with one common goal:
serving the needs of children in Central Florida.
Club members meet weekly to network, share a few laughs, and learn more
about the community. Each year, the club organizes a wide-range of volunteer
projects, including an annual Christmas party for underprivileged children, a track
meet for area elementary school students, and service projects at Orlando Day
Nursery. The Orlando Day Nursery is the club's oldest community service project,
dating back to the 1920s. The daycare facility provides child care options for
working moms with limited resources.
The club meets in downtown Orlando at the Orlando Day Nursery, 626 Lake Dot
Circle, Orlando. Meetings are on Friday afternoons from 12 p.m. - 1 p.m. and
include lunch. Take a few moments to learn more about the club and how you
can get involved in serving the needs of children in Central Florida.
