About our Kiwanis Club

Happy volunteers! One of our Kiwanis Club’s service projects is packing boxes of seasonal clothing for local children in need with one of our non-profit partners at Boxes of Basics. These smiling faces (the Smiley Faces are Gainesville HS Key Club students!) are working to fight clothing insecurity in our area.

The Haymarket-Gainesville Club (often shortened to Haymarket Kiwanis), was charted in December 2022. Three Kiwanis Clubs in Prince William & adjoining counties have been serving their communities for over 100 years now. We are a busy club who positively impacts the lives of our local children through our service projects, and enthusiastically look forward to our next 96 years to join those clubs over 100!

Kiwanis Around the Globe

Kiwanis helps kids around the world. Our Kiwanis club looks out for our community and the Kiwanis international organization takes on large-scale challenges, such as fighting disease and poverty. Our Kiwanis club is generous with its time. We are creative with our ideas. We are passionate about making a difference. And we have fun along the way!

For more than a century, Kiwanis has created opportunities for children to be curious, safe and healthy regardless of the community in which they live. When you give a child the chance to learn, experience, dream, grow, succeed and thrive, great things can happen.

The Kiwanis Mission & Vision

Kiwanis empowers communities to improve the world by making lasting differences in the lives of children. Kiwanis strives to be a positive influence in communities worldwide — so that one day, all children will wake up in communities that believe in them, nurture them and provide the support they need to thrive.

Kiwanis Service

Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, no matter where in the world it’s located. Members stage approximately  7.7 million hours of service projects and raise nearly US$390 million every year for communities, families and projects. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone.

Our Kiwanis club focuses on changing the world by serving children, one child in our community at a time. To reach more people and have a greater service impact on their communities, many clubs sponsor another Kiwanis family club — K-Kids for primary school children; Builders Clubs for adolescents; Key Clubs for high school for teens; Circle K clubs for university students and Aktion Clubs for adults living with disabilities.
