Rancho Cordova Kiwanis Support Youth and Community

The Rancho Cordova Kiwanis Chapter works behind the scenes in the community to better the lives of families and children in Rancho Cordova. From organizing and running the 4th of July Parade to serving up pancakes at the annual Community Easter Egg Hunt, the Air Show and Breakfast with Santa, the Rancho Cordova Kiwanians are serving the community one family at a time.

Like in so many communities, there will be more families than normal this year struggling to provide for the  treasured holiday traditions. In a flurry of cans of cranberry sauce, bags of potatoes, and boxes of stuffing, the Rancho Cordova Kiwanians provided 170 Thanksgiving food boxes for Rancho Cordova families.

Complete with turkeys, rolls, pies, and other traditional fixings, the boxes provided holiday meals that many families would have done with out this year. With dozens of volunteers, including members of the Cordova High Key Club and Americorps, the Kiwanians filled and distributed boxes of Thanksgiving meals to community members in need.

Because Kiwanis puts a strong emphasis on supporting local children, the Rancho Cordova Kiwanis Chapter is often volunteering their time and energy for local youth. From providing scholarships to organizing fundraisers, our local Kiwanians are some of the biggest supporters of Rancho Cordova youth.

On Saturday, December 5th, families are encouraged to join the Cordova Park and Recreation District and the Rancho Cordova Kiwanis at the Senior Center (3480 Routier Road) for breakfast with Santa. Not only will the Jolly Old Elf be there himself, but families can enjoy an all you can eat breakfast from 8 a.m. till 10 a.m. Children can enjoy the talents of a face painter and the comedic stylings of clowns. Plus there will be a professional photographer to take photos that families may purchase.

Breakfast will include all you can eat pancakes, eggs, sausage, and orange juice. Children under nine and seniors may purchase tickets for $2 and all other guests may purchase tickets for $5.  Tickets can be purchased at the door. After having breakfast with Santa, check out the holiday wares at the craft fair that will also be held at the Senior Center Saturday morning.

The Rancho Cordova Kiwanis meet every Thursday morning from 7 till 8 in the meeting room at IHOP located at 2216 Sunrise Blvd. If you have in interest in serving the community and would like to meet other professionals who are invested in Rancho Cordova, please join the Rancho Cordova Kiwanis. They even promise to buy you breakfast!
