Grand Junction Kiwanis Club allocates funding to local non-profit agencies benefiting children in our community.

At a recent luncheon, the Grand Junction Kiwanis Club allocated $53,000 raised from their 56th annual Pancake Day to local nonprofit agencies dedicated to helping children and families.

Many Children in our community are victims of child abuse, poverty, hunger, physical and mental delays and are experiencing family economic and emotional stresses. Kiwanis is dedicated to raising funds to support these agencies in the valley whose sole mission is to help these children and families.

The 56th annual Pancake Day was held on June 8th at the Mesa County Fairgrounds.

Just a few of the recipients are: CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), Partners, Colorado Discover Ability, Marillac Clinic’s Big Little Teeth program, Homeward Bound’s Pathways Family Shelter.
