Lake Stevens Kiwanis Christmas Baskets Help Local Families in Need
December 21, 2025 – Who are those elves scurrying around the Boys & Girls club early on a Sunday morning *yaaawn*. It’s the Lake Stevens Kiwanis Elves Brigade assembling Christmas baskets for some local families in need. Thanks to all those that got up early and shared a little of their weekend to make a few family’s Christmas a little brighter & joyful. Also thanks to the Lake Stevens Boys & Girls Club we couldn’t do it without your kind help!
Lake Stevens Winterfest 2025 Gets A Visit From Santa!
Fun times and another successful Kiwanis Winterfest celebration! We had a booth where we handed out hot drinks and cookies. We also put in a request for a visit from Santa, and here he is with one of his elves! So plenty of kids (and a few parents) were able to get a picture with Santa! Thank you to the City of Lake Stevens for putting on the event, to BSA Troop 41 for assisting in our Kiwanis booth, to the Snohomish Regional Fire and Rescue Station 81 for bringing Santa from the fire station (where his sleigh and reindeer were tended to), and especially to Nicole Perez and Tosha Edwards for organizing and setup of the Kiwanis booth! And especially to Santa and his elve for dropping by!
Thanksgiving Baskets For Those In Need
Each year in November one of our favorite and most fulfilling projects is collecting food & creating baskets of food for five local families in need. In conjunction with the Lake Stevens Boys & Girls club, we collect food at the Lake Stevens Haggens store over two days. The collected food is organized and transported to the Boys & Girls Club, where a group of Kiwanis and Key Club volunteers assemble the baskets of food. The five families (chosen by the Boys & Girls Club) then pick up their baskets and are able to have a bountiful Thanksgiving meal. Thanks to Kathy & Alan Fox for organizing the project, and of course thanks to all the other Kiwanians and Key Club members for their generous donation of their time. And a special thanks to the Boys & Girls Club for their help as well.

Another Successful Grade Road Cleanup!
September 27, 2025 – One way our club is giving back to the community – In cooperation with the City, we clean litter and debris four times a year along Grade Road. On a beautiful Saturday morning we met across from the fire station and cleaned the shoulders of Grade Road from Hartford Drive to Highway 92. Many thanks to the City of Lake Stevens Parks and Recreation Department for providing the equipment necessary. And lest we forget, thanks to our volunteers pictured above, from left to right: Tosha Edwards, Jackie Fox, Billy Fox, Kathy Fox, Nicole.
