As part of its ongoing mission to help children and youth in the Taylorville community, the Taylorville Kiwanis Club last week provided coats for Taylorville Head Start children.

The local Kiwanis Club provided winter coats, stocking caps, gloves, and scarves for 48 children at the C-E-F-S Zero to 5-year-old Head Start program facility. 

Bruce Blanshan, Taylorville Kiwanis Club Priority One Chair, lead the effort.

The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is 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.
