Our members participate in various volunteer activities to embody the Kiwanis mission, which is to make the world a better place for children, one child and one community at a time. Some of these include:
St. Joseph Fall Festival (on the bluff). We provide small pumpkins for kids to decorate with stickers and offer a pumpkin bag toss game with prizes.
Soup Kitchen – members volunteer to assemble and serve lunches to Food Pantry Guests.
Spooktacular 2026 – Becuase Fall Fest was cancelled due to strong storms, in 2026 we participated in a Halloween-themed event at Lake Buff Park in St. Joseph, Michigan. This event featured a variety of activities. A grant from the Berrien Community Foundation and Judy Felland made it possible for our club to provide more than 100 pumpkins for the Pumpkin Patch & Decorating Station. Kids were invited to pick a pumpkin from the Spooktacular Pumpkin Patch and get creative at the decorating station! There was a limit of one pumpkin per person (while supplies last).
Trunk or Treat2026 – A Fall Festival for area foster children and their foster families, offering a free dinner, trick-or-treating, inflatables, and other games. A grant from the Berrien Community Foundation and Judy Felland made it possible for our club to provide a third Bounce house and a outdoor grill for this event.
Wonderland Toy Store – an exceptional shopping experience for families unable to afford Christmas gifts for their children.
Senior Gift Boxes
One week, we assembled the “Safety Kits.”
Later, we assembled and wrapped the combined items, turning them into Holiday Gifts for seniors who receive Meals on Wheels.
Blossomland Learning Center School Store – Our members, the Key Clubs at Bridgman, Lakeshore, and St. Joseph High School, and our Builders Club at Upton Middle School (St. Joseph Public Schools), provide both items and monetary donationssince this school does not have a PTA .

Our club appreciated hearing from Dan Fette, the Community Development Director for Berrien County. He informed us about the newly formed Berrien County Transportation Authority (BCTA) that will be funded by MDOT for the next 3 years.
