The Collinsville Sunrise Kiwanis Club is a service organization.

The Collinsville Sunrise Kiwanis Club serves Collinsville, Illinois and the surrounding area covered by Collinsville Unit District 10.

Some of our local projects include:

Our annual Christmas Shopping Event-Each year the club takes about 50 children in need from the Collinsville Unit School District shopping for clothes. Afterwards, we go to a local bowling alley and have a pizza party on us. The Bowling Alley leagues collect toys for the kids and a food basket for each family.

Willoughby Farms-One of our pet projects is Willoughby Heritage Farm in Collinsville. Throughout the years we have provided funding for a pavillion, a ramp for handicapped accessibility for their wagon, a wheel chair swing, a kids coral, an outdoor education center and more.

SOS Soup Kitchen-We prepare and serve a meal at the SOS Soup kitchen 4 times a year.

Scholarships-We offer our Key Club kids the opportunity to apply for $1000 scholarships annually.

Mississippi Valley Library System-We support our local library system by donating books and funds to improve the children’s library at the Collinsville and Fairmont City locations.
