It takes money to serve children in Loudoun County so we fundraise. These are our major fundraisers. 100% of proceeds go to community service.
White House Christmas Ornaments
SOLD OUT! If you’d like us to add you to our client list for 2021, send an email to leesburgkiwanis@gmail.com.
Every October-November we sell White House Historical Association Christmas ornaments for the unbelievably low price of $20 each, including free delivery in Loudoun County. (You will be very hard pressed to find a lower price anyplace around.)
2020’s ornament honors John F. Kennedy, America’s 35th president, with a simple portrait on the front and quote from his wife Jacqueline on the back.
If you purchased ornaments from us in the past year, you’ll receive an email from our secretary in late September–you may order at that time. Or call 703-737-2175 now, and Bob will take your order while supplies last. Pay on delivery: cash, check or (new this year) credit card. For credit card orders the price is $21 per ornament –the extra $1 covers our fee so 100% of what we make still goes toward our community service projects.
When the ornaments arrive we contact you to arrange delivery. We haven’t had to mail any ornaments in Loudoun County yet, but, if we do, we’ll ask you to pay the postage so we don’t lose money on the sale.

For Dr Seuss' birthday (March 2) we returned to the Ampersand Pantry in Leesburg to give away gently used books that the club has collected. At the drive-through event we gave age-appropriate books to parents and grandparents for their (grand)children. In spite of the cold we were gratified we could help more than 50 children that day. And we left books for those who come later and ask for them. ... See MoreSee Less

The Kiwanis Club of North Saint Andrew in Kingston, Jamaica, has undertaken an ambitious project to help the government plant 3 million trees in three years to help alleviate the impact of climate change and improve air quality. The club is planting trees at Mount James Basic School to provide children with an outside space to help them learn. #KidsNeedKiwanis
We really are one family in Kiwanis! Although not nearly as ambitious in numbers of trees, the Kiwanis Club of Chatham-Kent in Southwestern Ontario also has just started a tree planting project. It has now become a Division commitment involving other clubs in our area. We are all committed to improving the world one community at a time for the children.
