Testimonials
"As a 17+ year Kiwanian and former President in a large club in Indianapolis, and a charter member who helped start the club in Bluffton in 2016, I speak from experience that every club has its own identity. The Bluffton Club has many community service projects in a broad spectrum of areas. Volunteer hours per member far exceeds many of those throughout the Carolinas District. That is due to committed members and the variety of things we do. Something for everyone; group and individual efforts."

"As I aged and realized the importance of returning something to the world that gave me so much, the best way was through an organization that started at the roots of society; the children. Kiwanis is devoted to exactly that. Everything we do starts and ends with our children, especially those that need help. Our devotion to organizations that work with the children, Boys and Girls Club, our scholarship programs, etc. grant me the ability to give back. I love being part of the Kiwanis Club of Bluffton."

"Empowering the future, one page at a time. The Kiwanis Club stands as a beacon of support for our reading and STEM initiatives at Red Cedar, equipping students with the resources to cultivate their home libraries and ignite a passion for engineering. Through programs like the BUGS Program, they encourage and celebrate students, making academics a priority. With their unwavering commitment, together we are shaping a brighter future in education and innovation."

"I’m thrilled to be part of such a wonderful organization investing time and resources into the children of the Lowcountry. As the Volunteer Manager at Bluffton Self Help, I enjoy working with the club each year as the membership regularly invests their time and talent by contributing onsite with our teacher classroom supply collection and distribution, holiday food distributions, and our holiday toy assistance program. It takes a community, and the Kiwanis Club of Bluffton is a huge contributor of improving the lives the children in our community."
