We are proud to support a Little League team. |
The Macomb Kiwanis Club takes pride in helping support the Flags of Love in Chandler Park. Several times each year, the flags are erected in the park in honor of Macomb area residents who have served their country in the military. |

Our biggest fundraiser of the year is Pancake Day in April. Kiwanis members prepare pancakes and sausage and serve thousands of people every year. |
Kiwanis helped build the Chandler Park Gazebo and works on improvements to it.

Thanks to the overwhelming support we receive at our Pancake Day, we are able to donate thousands of dollars back into the community. In 2007, we awarded nearly $15,000 in special grants to organizations and individuals that serve children. Pictured above are representatives from those groups that received the special grant. They include Big Brothers/Big Sisters, MacArthur School, Salvation Army, Performing Arts Society and many others. |
