Have you been looking to do some volunteering for good causes in your community? Do you like helping kids, having fun and feeling like you made a difference? Why not consider joining us and become a member of our Kiwanis club?
Serving Children, Youth, and Our Local Community.
The Kiwanis Club of Rock Hill was chartered in 1920, making it among the oldest Kiwanis Clubs in the nation. As we begin 2025, there are 49 members ranging in ages, in professions, and in length of time as residents of Rock Hill / York County. Some of our members are retired from their careers. All of our members enjoy gathering for our buffet luncheons / speaker programs as well as serving the community. The amount of time given by members for service projects can range greatly from a couple of hours a month to much more.
Examples of our current activities…
Provide for the Terrific Kids Program in all Rock Hill Elementary Schools and several charter schools reaching more than 5,000 students every year.
Organize and host the annual Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast (Come-See-Me Festival sanctioned event.)
Host the annual Law Enforcement Officers Appreciation Luncheon for area agencies.
Provide a cookout for campers at Camp ARC, a camp for mentally and physically challenged adults.
Participate in the Salvation Army’s Christmas ringing of the bells.

A few of our past local projects…
Provided donations to the Rock Hill School District program “Back the Pack” which feeds hungry students during the weekends.
