Belleville Kiwanis Club Ceases Operations After a Century
A small gathering at The Belleville Club witnessed the final actions of the Kiwanis Club of Belleville, marking the end of over 100 years of community service.
The club distributed its remaining resources to two local charities: the Belleville General Hospital Foundation and the Children’s Foundation. The hospital donation, over $4,500, will enhance and support the children’s wing, while the Children’s Foundation received over $55,000.
Spokespeople for both agencies acknowledged the value of such support, citing current costs for needed equipment.
Representatives from both groups attended to receive the cheques, highlighting the significance of the club's contributions.
The Kiwanis Club of Belleville has traditionally focused on community service, especially for children, making this final act a fitting conclusion to their legacy.
