Caring Kernel Awards: Our Kiwanis club provides T-shirts to Gertie Belle Rogers Elementary School and Mitchell High School as part of the monthly Caring Kernel awards. Teachers and staff nominate students who demonstrate leadership, kindness, and a positive attitude. Each recipient is awarded a certificate along with a Black and Gold Kernel shirt from Kiwanis Club of Mitchell.
Scholarships: Four $500 scholarships are awarded to local graduating high school seniors each year. The funds are sent directly to the student’s school to assist with expenses for their second semester of higher education. Applications open each February.
Big Friend Little Friend Activity: Kiwanians host an event for the Mentors and Mentees of Big Friend Little Friend in Mitchell. The club puts on a meal and a fun activity for the group.
Cozy Blankets of Comfort: Making tied blankets and donating to local first responders is a year-long project for our club. These blankets are distributed to people who are involved in emergency situations. The blankets have personalized labels from our club and are placed in large zip-lock bags to keep them clean in the police/fire/sheriff vehicles. We have invited other groups to assist us for this project. We have worked with the following: United Way of Mitchell, LifeQuest, Girl Scouts Dakota Horizons, DWU TRIO students and our Circle K Club at Mitchell Technical College.
Little Free Lending Libraries: Our club collects books from garage sales and other places to stock the Little Free Lending Libraries around town. We also assist with repairs when needed, sharing our commitment to promoting literacy.
Girls on the Run: We provide funds for snacks for Girls on the Run teams and assist with their 5K.
