On March 12, 2025, the Shawnee State University Circle K International Club provided an update to the Kiwanis Club of Portsmouth. Presenters included Maggie Wiley, President of the Club, and Grace Justice, a four-year member who serves as the Buckeye Trails Lieutenant Governor.
In the fall of 2024, the club collected pet food donations for Sierra’s Haven and coordinated a coat drive to directly help SSU students, as many of the school’s international students cannot afford winter coats. Any extra coats were donated to The Salvation Army.
Grace represented the club this spring at the Ohio District Circle K Convention, where SSU received an award for Best Service Project and another member received a volunteer service award.

🥤 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.

What an inspiring meeting today! 🌟 Our club was honored to host Paula Angel McClellan and our own Misty Simco from the incredible Salvation Army Family Store!
Opened in 2023, this store is a vital resource, offering new and gently used clothing and household items at a fraction of the cost for those in our community who need it most.
Their impact is truly remarkable: - They hang approximately 700 garments daily! - Since June 2025, they've had the help of 33 volunteers, contributing 127 hours of dedicated service. - Best of all, 90% of their revenue stays local to support Scioto County!
Thank you, Paula and Misty, for sharing your mission and the amazing work you do to strengthen Portsmouth!
