What is Kiwanis?
Here is a quick video that explains what Kiwanis is.
Kiwanis empowers communities to improve the world by making lasting differences in the daily lives of children.
Kiwanis members dedicate more than 18 million volunteer hours and invest more than $107 million annually in projects that strengthen communities and serve children. We help shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, mentor the disadvantaged and care for the sick. We develop youth as leaders, build playgrounds, raise funds for pediatric research and much more. We believe that helping a child helps the world.
Working together, Kiwanis members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone. When you give a child a chance to learn, experience, dream and succeed, great things happen!

🎖️ The Kiwanis Club of Portsmouth was honored to host local hero and special guest speaker, Kandi Temple! Kandi shared her inspiring journey as a former Army MP (Military Police) and C.I.D. Agent (Criminal Investigation Division) in the United States Army.
Kandi shared her powerful start in West Union, explaining how a lack of resources in her adolescence motivated her to join the U.S. Army—a choice that led to extraordinary experiences.
She captivated our members with incredible stories from her service, including being stationed in North Korea and the unforgettable experience of serving there during 9/11. 💔
Beyond her military career, Kandi passionately discussed her dedication to community work:
- Her involvement with Scioto County Right To Life. - Her commitment to working closely with elderly patients suffering from dementia and stroke.
A huge thank you to Kandi Temple for speaking with us on Wednesday and for her dedicated service to our country and our county! We are truly grateful! 🙏
🥤 Kiwanis had a fantastic meeting today with our guest speaker, Sarah Denney from Coca-Cola Distribution from right here in Portsmouth!
It was inspiring to hear about the incredible work they're doing. Did you know the local Coca-Cola facility is a dedicated second-chance employer? They are committed to helping individuals who are rebuilding their lives by offering valuable employment opportunities. What a powerful way to support our community!
A Few Fun Facts Shared:
Coca-Cola offers a massive variety, with over 300 flavors available! The company operates 11 production centers and 60 distribution facilities across its system. A huge thank you to Sarah Denney for sharing Coca-Cola's strong commitment to community and providing such an insightful presentation! She is pictured with Kiwanis President Kara Tieman.
