Our Community Service

Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. The Kiwanis of Oxford, Ohio is dedicated to serving the local community through various service and fundraising projects. Our club has been in service to our community since 1926. We are part of Kiwanis International, an organization serving children for over 100 years.

The Oxford members are proud supporters and contributors to over 25 service projects and programs annually in the local community.  This includes being corporate sponsors of Boy Scout Troop 930, Cub Scout Pack 961, Crew, and Indian Creek Girl Scouts
