The Downey Kiwanis Foundation was chartered in January 1985. The incorporators were C. Richard Holmes, Richard M. Lehn and Charles Pifer. Since its inception the foundation’s main mission has been providing college scholarships for graduating high school students in Downey. Most recently, the foundation has extended its scholarship program to benefit students in Lakewood. During the 2023 Scholarship Banquet, the foundation awarded over $122,000 in college scholarships to graduating seniors from Downey, Warren, Columbus and Lakewood High Schools.
In addition to college scholarships, the foundation has contributed financially to numerous community projects in Downey such as the ARC, the YMCA, Furman Park, the Columbia Memorial Space Center, among others. The foundation also contributes to the education of young children by its participation in the Downey Theater music education program, the First United Methodist Church child daycare program, and other non-profit organizations.
Yesterday, our Downey Kiwanians came together for our monthly food drive at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center. There’s nothing better than spending the morning alongside friends, rolling up our sleeves, and serving our Rancho community.
Month after month, our members continue to show up with smiles, helping hands, and a shared commitment to making a difference. It’s simple acts of service like these that remind us what Kiwanis is all about—community, friendship, and helping others. 🙌
Proud to serve alongside this amazing group of Kiwanians!
A great Sunday this past weekend with the KIWIN’S Diamond Division at their DCM at Wilson Park in Torrance! 💙💛
It’s always inspiring to see so many young leaders come together with energy, friendship, and a shared commitment to service. These students continue to demonstrate what the Kiwanis family is all about—building leadership, strengthening communities, and having a little fun along the way!
Proud to support our KIWIN’S and excited to see what the Diamond Division accomplishes this year. Keep shining, Diamonds! 💎👏
