May 20, 2013. A huge EF5 tornado devastates the community of Moore, Ok., leaving hundreds of people homeless. Kiwanis is there to help immediately.
The Texas Oklahoma District has a disaster relief program that provides material relief to people who have lost their homes due to natural disasters. There are many thousands of children affected each year in Texas and Oklahoma due to tornados, floods, wild fires, and other causes. The Moore tornado on Monday, May 20th, destroyed hundreds of homes, businesses and schools leaving families struggling to cope with sudden loss. Kiwanis clubs and community members across the 2 states immediately stepped up to help folks in Moore by packing emergency disaster relief backpacks filled with toiletries (soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo), medical packs, spare socks, toys, baby wipes, powders, t-shirts, etc. The backpacks are packed according to gender and age groups and will be delivered to the shelters.  If you would like to donate to this program, we are collecting checks or credit card donations.
To donate with a credit card, we have set up a PayPal donation button on the Denton Kiwanis Club website here: http://www.dentonkiwanisclub.org.  You do NOT have to have a paypal account to use your credit card. Simply choose the amount you wish to donate and fill in the form online.

Kiwanis Members rally for storm victims in North Texas.

May 16th, 2013. Immediately after tornados and heavy storms hit areas SW of Dallas, Kiwanis members jump into action delivering backpacks fulls of relief materials to Clubs in Granbury and Cleburne to distribute to people in need. The backpacks are specially packed for adults, teens, youths, and toddlers. Over 250 packs were delivered by teams in Denton and Robson Ranch to the affected areas. Now, Kiwanis teams in Granbury and Cleburne will reach out to people left homeless or who are in shelters until they can return home.

With generous donations from Kiwanis Clubs and members or our communities, backpacks are stuffed with supplies and kept available at District Headquarters in Arlington. Whenever disaster strikes, Kiwanis members instantly jump into action to help, especially when kids are concerned. Delivering these special backpacks is popular with the clubs and with the communities. Kiwanis makes a difference in our communities.
 
If you would like your volunteer hours to make a positive change in someone's life, contact us and we'll put you in touch with clubs close to you. You can participate in great programs like our disaster relief services and make a difference in someone's life.
