About Our Club

Chartered in 1922, we've spent over a century making Winchester, Virginia a better place for children and families.

Who We Are

The Kiwanis Club of Winchester

We are the Kiwanis Club of Winchester, Virginia — a non-profit service club focused on one simple idea: change the world one community and one child at a time.

Chartered in 1922, our club has a long history of raising and distributing funds for the benefit of our community, with a special emphasis on children. Over the decades we've grown into an active group of dedicated volunteers who show up every week — and for every cause.

We meet at noon every Wednesday at the Winchester Moose Club, located at 215 E. Cork St. Guests are always welcome — come see what we're about before you commit.
