Fund-raiser

The Moultrie Kiwanis Club has initiated a community collaborative service project to benefit the Children’s Cheer & Toy Shop. This year, more than ever, the Toy Shop needs our help to make the holidays a little brighter for the neediest families in our community. The goal is to fill 800 stockings with necessities and treats.

A $20 donation will provide a stocking filled with a new toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, lip balm, knit gloves and a knit hat and some treats. 

In addition to the Moultrie Kiwanis Club other organizations that will be collecting for this cause include the Moultrie Federated Guild, the Moultrie Junior Woman’s Club, the Moultrie Service League, the Rotary Club and the Women’s Federated Club. Checks can be made payable to any of these organizations for the project. For more information you can email moultriekiwanis@Yahoo.com.
