The club continues making braided fleece blankets for pediatric patients at INOVA Loudoun Hospital in Lansdowne, Virginia. Extra pieces of fleece turn into chew toys for the therapy dog onsite.

Founded by local business leaders in March 1957, our organization of passionate volunteers–business people, professionals, government workers, moms and dads, and retirees–serves Loudoun County one child and one community at a time.

We are best known for sponsoring the annual Halloween parade held in Leesburg since 1957.

We sponsor Key Clubs in 9 Loudoun County high schools. Students run these service leadership programs under faculty supervision, providing much needed community service by sponsoring projects that benefit their schools and the community at large, while receiving valuable leadership training and experience.

Community service is a big part of Kiwanis—we truly serve the children of the world, beginning in Loudoun County. In our decades of service, we have supported many different organizations. Our club most recently has locally supported INOVA Loudoun Hospital’s pediatric units, Women Giving Back, Loudoun Hunger Relief, Mobile Hope, Backpack Coalition Foundation, and youth projects. At Christmas, we wrap presents for Mobile Hope to ensure a fun holiday for kids in the community.

Our reading initiative to help underserved children in the county has taken multiple routes to provide books and reading strategies for kids and their families. We have passed out over 800 books to kids at Head Start/STEP, National Night Out, the 4th Annual Latina Fiesta, INMED, the Arc of Loudoun, and in little free libraries. We believe every child has the to enjoy age-appropriate books of their own.

What is Kiwanis?

No, we are not an airline (that’s Quantas). We are a service organization that helps kids. Here is a quick video that explains what Kiwanis is.
