The Kiwanis Club of Weston conducts a food and personal care products drive on Saturday, January 25, 2025 at Weston Shopping Center to benefit Weston Food Pantry clients. The event provides Westonites with the opportunity to help our neighbors in need. Kiwanians will be at the shopping center from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., collecting shelf-stable food products at Lily’s and personal care products at the Weston Pharmacy.
Fall’s been a busy time for the club. During October, Kiwanis held its13th annual Weston Kiwanis Reservoir Run half marathon, 5K, kids fun run foot races. Registrations totaled almost 500 runners. Men from West Point’s cross-country team ran the half marathon. The day is a community-wide effort supported by Weston’s Board of Selectmen, public schools, the police department, Weston Volunteer EMS, Weston High School Key Club and Girl’s Track Team, and the Scouts BSA Troop 788.
Kiwanians dressed up as witches and goblins to help transform the Lachat Town Farm’s
landscape in the Haunted Halloween production of “Meteor, The Immersive Theater
Experience.” Strange things happened at Lachat as children and their parents encountered
disturbing creatures and supernatural surprises. The 45-minute interactive Walking Tour was
filled with live actors (some Kiwanians), horrific scenes, and chilling surprises. The children,
their parents, and Kiwanians had a wonderful time.
Weston Kiwanis is dedicated to serving children. Through a combination of community service and philanthropy, the club supports worthy causes in Weston and neighboring communities. The club has donated over $900,000 since 2000 to help children. Weston Kiwanis meets each Saturday at the Norfield Congregational Church parish hall. Meetings begin at 8:30 a.m. A full breakfast is available for $10 and is complimentary on their first visit for individuals exploring membership. All are welcome.

Weston Intermediate School Community Service Day: WIS Wolf Pack Gives Back
The Kiwanis Club of Weston is a proud sponsor of this event.
On Saturday, February 1, 2025 (1–3 PM), Weston Intermediate will host its first-ever Community Service Day: WIS Wolf Pack Gives Back — a new tradition that will bring students in grades 3–5 and their families together for an afternoon of hands-on giving.
This event is about more than a few hours of volunteering — it’s about teaching kids the power of service. Each family will roll up their sleeves to create items and care packages that go directly to local organizations in need, including animal shelters, food pantries, senior centers, children’s hospitals, and homelessness outreach programs. Along the way, students will learn that even small acts of kindness can make a real difference — and that Weston is part of a much larger community of compassion.
What excites me most about this event — beyond how hands-on it will be — is the opportunity to introduce students to a wide range of service organizations, many of which are right here in Weston and Fairfield Country. By the end of the afternoon, kids and their families will have learned about 20 different types of organizations and created tangible items to donate that will make an immediate impact.
These projects will likely include making dog toys for an animal shelter, flower pots for a senior center, diaper bundles for a family agency, seed bombs for an environmental organization, toiletry bags for a homeless shelter, and craft kits for children at a domestic women’s shelter.
We’ll also have collection bins that day to support the Weston Food Pantry, local clothing drives, and collections for sports gear, books, and other essentials.
We will even have small, live animals from a Rescue Farm, which the kids are going to love!
And as a signature activity, we will also host End Hunger New England, during which families will put on hair nets and gloves, and work on an assembly line to package 10,000 meals for people in need.
