Summer Picnic With Friends & Family
July 9, 2026 – 🌞 Nothing like a beautiful day at Lundeen Park! Yesterday’s Lake Stevens Kiwanis picnic was all about good food, great company, and getting to know our fellow Kiwanis members and their families. From potluck dishes to sunny smiles, we’re grateful for the chance to connect and strengthen our community bonds. Thanks to everyone who made it a delicious success! 🍽️💙
A Note About the Kiwanis Beer Garden
Alas, the 2025 Lake Stevens Kiwanis Beer Garden was our last. The event was begun in the late ’70’s as a way to build a perpetual fund for vocational and college scholarships for LSHS graduates. That goal has been reached, and due to limited resources as well as increased costs and regulations, our Board has decided to dedicate our resources to other projects that benefit our community and its youth. We will continue to work with Lake Stevens High School to annually fund scholarships. We want to thank everyone who contributed their time and energy towards making this such a successful event, and of course our wonderful community patrons.
Lions & Kiwanis Fill The Shelves
June 19, 2026 – 🦁❤️ What a wonderful weekend of community spirit! On Friday and Saturday, June 19th and 20th, the Lake Stevens Kiwanis and Lake Stevens Lions Club joined forces outside Haggen Grocery to collect donations for the Lake Stevens Food Bank — and the response was truly heartwarming.
Shoppers generously filled carts with food and contributions, reminding us all that community means showing up for one another. A huge thank you to Haggen for graciously opening their doors and their community space to make this collaboration possible — their ongoing commitment to serving those in need is a shining example of what local business caring for their community.
Thank you to every customer who paused, gave, and made a difference for our neighbors facing food insecurity. And thank you to the dedicated volunteers of both the Kiwanis and Lions Club, who give their time and hearts week after week to lift up the less fortunate in our community.
Together, we are Lake Stevens. 💙
2026 Easter Egg Hunt
April 5, 2026 – On a glorious spring morning, Easter Sunday April 5th, the Kiwanis Club of Lake Stevens carried on a beloved 49-year tradition as hundreds of families gathered at Highland Elementary School for the club’s annual Easter Egg Hunt — free to every child in the community. Children ages 1–11 clutched their baskets and buckets behind the starting rope, bursting with anticipation before the signal sent them scrambling across the field to collect colorful plastic eggs filled with candy and small prizes.
Lucky egg-finders discovered special tokens redeemable for grand prizes including Easter baskets, large stuffed bunnies, and scooters, making for squeals of delight all around. The Easter Bunny himself arrived in style, delivered to the event aboard a Snohomish Regional Fire and Rescue Station 81 fire truck, thrilling kids and parents alike.
The event ran flawlessly thanks to the dedicated volunteers of Boy Scout Troop 41, the Lake Stevens High School Key Club, and Kiwanis Club members, all under the expert coordination of Kiwanis member Kathy Fox. Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers for their efforts, and especially Kathy Fox and her team for making it look so seamless! We’d also like to thank the Easter Bunny of course, the Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue Station 81 crew, and our fabulous announcer Anthony Morea.
It was a beautiful reminder of what serving the children of Lake Stevens truly looks like — neighbors coming together to give kids a safe, joyful, and memorable celebration at no cost. Events like this one are exactly why kids need Kiwanis.
Mark your calendars — the Lake Stevens Kiwanis Club looks forward to welcoming the community back for the 50th Annual Easter Egg Hunt next Easter! To learn more about our club and upcoming events, visit us at lskiwanis.org.
Kiwanis Assists Ebenezer Lutheran’s Community Supper
🍽️ Community Strength, One Meal at a Time
March 19, 2026 – We were honored to partner with Ebenezer Lutheran Church this week to host another Community Supper. There is something incredibly powerful about coming together to serve our neighbors.

It wasn’t just about the food—it was about the smiles, the conversation, and the reminder that no one in our community has to go it alone.A huge thank you to the team at Ebenezer Lutheran for their continued dedication to this program and for letting us join in their mission. 💙💛

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.
