“Support from the Niceville-Valparaiso Kiwanis is a tremendous help in our efforts to provide a safe, loving home to the abused, neglected and abandoned children of our community.”

The Kiwanis Club of Niceville-Valparaiso recently presented Children in Crisis a donation of $1,000 to help purchase a new TV and games for the children living at the CIC Children’s Neighborhood.

Ken Hair, CIC President & CEO commented, “We have been blessed with great support from the community to build the Children’s Neighborhood.  However, it’s a struggle to find the necessary funding to sustain operations.  Support from the Niceville-Valparaiso Kiwanis is a tremendous help in our efforts to provide a safe, loving home to the abused, neglected and abandoned children of our community.”

Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time.  Their mission is serving the children of the world, which by all accounts is a very rewarding experience!
