Help us spread the Patriotic Spirit in Saline

The Kiwanis Club of Saline has started a new exciting project! We will install a plastic sleeve flush with the ground in your front yard to hold an American made 3' x 5' USA flag on a ten foot pole for six holidays for $40 (not tax deductible) each year. The holidays are Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, September 11 and Veteran's Day (Weather Permitting). The flags will be put in the yard a few days before the holidays and taken down a few days afterwards. The appearance of numerous flags on our streets will be impressive and create awareness and pride. Please use our contact page below to express your interest or ask questions. If you are using the payment button below, please use the contact page to give us the address where you would like the flag installed.

About Us

What is Kiwanis?

Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time. The mission of Kiwanis is to serve the children of the world. Kiwanis was organized in Detroit, MI on January 21, 1915. Kiwanis International is headquartered in Indianapolis, IN.

International Projects

Kiwanis and its Service Leadership Programs boast a membership of more than 550,000 men, women and youth in nearly 16,000 clubs in more than 80 countries and geographic areas. Kids need Kiwanis!

Members of Kiwanis and its Service Leadership Programs volunteer more than 19 million hours and invest more than $100 million in their communities around the world.

Iodine Deficiency Disorders

Kiwanis International has raised and leveraged more than US$100 million toward the elimination of Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD), the leading preventable cause of mental and developmental disabilities in the world. UNICEF heralded the effort that began in 1994 as one of the most successful health initiatives ever. Kiwanis International continues to advocate for optimal iodine nutrition and to raise money and fund projects that offer children a chance to live healthier, happier and more productive lines.

Eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus

Maternal and neonatal tetanus is deadly. And it’s painful – preventing even the comfort of a mother’s touch. There’s an additional tragedy: MNT is preventable. And yet, millions have died from this disease because of poverty and unsafe birthing practices.

Kiwanis International has been fighting maternal and neonatal tetanus since 2010. We have raised money for lifesaving vaccines, health education, safe birth environments and more — all for the world’s poorest and most vulnerable populations. Millions of women can now give birth without fear of their babies dying from this horrible disease.

Kiwanis International is proud of the role we’ve played, but we’re not done. Kiwanis remains committed to raising money and funding efforts to save and protect mothers and babies in the 12 countries where maternal and neonatal tetanus remain a threat.
