The Taylorville Kiwanis Club was the recent beneficiary of a $1000 donation from the Fur Love Charitable Resale Shop on the Taylorville square.

Fur Love principals Steve and Sherri Craggs provided the donation to the club as the store’s way to assist the Kiwanis Club in children and youth projects in the Taylorville community.

The Kiwanis Club’s many projects include Coats for Head Start Kids, Kiwanis Park, YMCA and high school scholarships, and grants to other local non-profit organizations that have the similar mission as Kiwanis in helping kids.

The Craggs’ presented the check to Kiwanis president Bill Assalley recently.

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.
