Moraga Kiwanis capped its annual charitable contribution program this month with a donation of 5,000 diapers to five local agencies that provide housing and services to babies, children, and families. Kiwanis' annual donation of funds, goods and hands-on services totaled more than $48,000, benefiting 31 agencies. Cash donations are expected to climb to $50,000 next year. Donations benefited a variety of causes in Contra Costa and the East Bay, concentrated in education, family services and needs in Lamorinda. All three Lamorinda education foundations received substantial gifts.
Kiwanis has a long history of investing time and treasure in the community with cash donations totaling more than $700,000 over the past 20 years and dozens of hands-on service projects. Charitable funds are earned in a variety of events including the upcoming See's candy sale, February's Crab Feed, and at town events in Moraga.
