About the Kiwanis Club of Christiansburg
The Kiwanis Club of Christiansburg is proud to be the managing organization for the Wilderness Trail Festival! With feedback from the community and vendors, we are looking forward to improving the Festival.
What is Kiwanis?
Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world, one child and one community at a time. Visit www.christiansburgkiwanis.com to find out more about the Christiansburg Kiwanis Club.
Since its charter was granted in 1949, the Kiwanis Club of Christiansburg has provided support to the youth of our local community. This includes the development of Kiwanis Park and the founding of the Recreation Department for the Town of Christiansburg. Over the years, Kiwanis has raised funds for and provided labor to many youth organizations and projects including backpacks for the Head Start Program, Christiansburg Key Club, Montgomery County Social Services, Intellectual Disabilities of NRV, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, CHS cheerleaders, entry fees for special needs children at the Christiansburg Recreation and Aquatics Departments, Girls and Boys State, an annual Christmas celebration for local children in need, and other requests approved by the Club.
The Club has worked with the six schools in Christiansburg to establish a Kiwanis Clothe a Child Program which provides funding for children without ample means to purchase needed clothing. In addition, working with the same six schools, the Club has set up a Kiwanis School Supplies Program to support those children who do not have money to buy their required school supplies.
Since 2009 Kiwanis has been the managing organization for the Wilderness Trail Festival which takes place each September in downtown Christiansburg.
Membership is open to anyone who has an interest in building a better community, serving the youth and citizens of Christiansburg and who are willing to dedicate themselves to helping the Club achieve the goals of Kiwanis.
