36 Taylorville Head Start children this week benefited from new winter coats, hats, gloves, and boots provided by the Taylorville Kiwanis Club, as part of the club’s annual “Coats for Kids” project.

Recently, Kiwanis members Mellisa McMillan, Dick Wamsley, and Blain Cornwell, assisted Head Start teacher Shannon Heberling, and several Wal-Mart associates, in picking the winter apparel that the Kiwanis Club again funded and were given to the children this week.

This is a long-time project for the local Kiwanis Club that’s part of a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.  Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.  For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
