Projects

Below are the projects and activities in which we are currently involved:

  • Kid Care - We Care! ​When Union County Family Connection identifies local children in need of items such as clothing, our club is contacted. Those items are purchased and given to Family Connection for distribution.

  • Emergency Clothes Closet - We know that accidents at school happen, so we conduct a clothing drive for Union County Primary School.

  • BUG - Bring Up Grades is a program designed to provide recognition to 4th grade UCES students who raise their grades into an acceptable range and maintain or continue to raise them from one grading period to the next.

  • Backpack 2 School Bash - We support the annual Bash by providing funds for back-to-school supplies and assist with backpack stuffing and delivery.

  • Scholarships - We award scholarships to students at Union County High School, Mountain Education Charter High School, North Georgia Technical College, and University of North Georgia-Blue Ridge.

  • Trauma Dolls - These stuffed fabric dolls are constructed in partnership with Bless Blairsville, UCHS Key Club, and UCB Junior Board. The featureless dolls are supplied to medical care professionals and emergency responders to be given out to children in order to comfort or distract them from trauma.

  • Kiwanis One Day - Kiwanis members serve their communities all year long. But the excitement for service really builds in October each year when Kiwanis members come together for Kiwanis One Day... a day of community service that is felt around the world.

  • Pancake Breakfast - Annual fundraiser, usually held in springtime.

  • Special Olympics - We support the events held in late November or early December at UCHS, usually by cooking and serving lunch.

  • Pinewood Derby - Scouts race their cars down a track at the Rubber Gym in April. We assist with check-in, vehicle inspection, and judging.

  • HS Football - We work the concession stand at UCHS one Friday during football season.

  • Club Picnic - Fun for members, guests, and their families.

  • Christmas Dinner - Celebrate the season with friends and families.
