SCARE HUNGER!

Several years ago, our sponsored KEY Club at Bonney Lake High School met to discuss Halloween. The idea was proposed that they find a way to make this holiday more than just a way for kids to dress up and demand candy from neighbors. Wouldn’t it be fun and worthwhile, they thought then, if we converted Halloween into “SCARE HUNGER?’ Well, that became an instant tradition and 2024 was the fourth celebration. Together, the Key and members of the Bonney Lake Kiwanis brought over 2,000 pounds of donated food to Bonnie Lake’s Foodbank, which is called Good Roots Northwest (Pierce County). We hope there will be many celebrations of SCARE HUNGER in the future.

At the conference members attended leadership workshops, networked with other schools and learned how to improve our club.

Beautify Bonney Lake

A city-wide volunteer effort to cleanup and generally improve about thirty sites within the city of Bonney Lake. 2024 was the 20th consecutive annual celebration of this event. Approximately 200 volunteers from all over the city got together on the 21st of September 2024. Our Kiwanis Club was assigned the task to improve Bonney Lake Senior Center’s gardens. Here are a couple of snapshots of this event:

Community Used Clothing drive

Periodically, Bonney Lake High School KEY Club joins Bonney Lake Kiwanis Club, Bonney Lake Senior Center, and the Lions Club in sponsoring community used clothing drives. This is a win-win-win program that helps donors to clean out their closets, allows our Kiwanis Club to collect a small payment from another volunteer group that collects huge volumes of used clothing, and the ultimate beneficiaries are the homeless and hungry who depend on clothes donations for their daily wear. This particular drive culminated in the loading of almost 8,000 pounds of donated clothing into two large vans to be delivered to a regional distribution center. A close observation of this picture will allow the viewer to see some of the hundreds of plastic bags filled with clothing we loaded into the van.

Annual Pancake Breakfast

Bonney Lake Kiwanis Club and the Bonney Lake High School Key Club annual Easter Breakfast at Applebee’s! It was truly a joy to see so many friendly faces coming together to celebrate the season. Applebee’s partnership helps us continue the important work we do to support local youth through the Key Club and other service initiatives.

Bonney Lake Triathlon is an annual event that is a regular project for our Kiwanis Club and assisted by Bonney Lake High School KEY Club members. Held each year on Memorial Day weekend, the event is well attended, and an inspirational experience that draws athletes and volunteers alike from many miles away. First time triathletes and returning veterans all turn in great performances. We would like to give a shout out, “Well done”, to all the volunteers and the athletes who have attended and made this event an annual success.
