Our Mission
To Improve the Quality of Life for Children and Families in the Quad Cities and Abroad.
The Kiwanis Club of Rock Island is one part of Kiwanis International, a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world, one community and one child at a time. The Kiwanis Club of Rock Island performs many community service projects in Rock Island to help serve children.
If you are interested in performing community service and helping children in Rock Island, we encourage you to learn more about the Kiwanis Club of Rock Island here on our site and welcome you to join us for a meeting. Check our Information page for information about our meeting day, time and place. Download our brochure.
Announcements
With the Board meeting this Monday the 21st, we won't be back for our regular meetings until October 28th. We'll be discussing the Kiwanis 2 for 2 Membership Initiative at that meeting, so we urge everyone to attend to learn how you can help us grow our club!
In the meantime, one huge way you can support the club is to buy our Holiday Cheese! Orders are due November 8th and you can find the order form HERE. Buy big, as every bite helps a kid, plus you simply love the cheese. You may have seen the order form posted on our Facebook page already - feel free to share on your own page.

We will be handing off the traveling gavel to the Moline Kiwanis club at their meeting on October 29th. If you can attend this interclub, we would be thrilled to have you join Emily Adams.
