WHO WE ARE

We are the Town Center Kiwanis Club of Virginia Beach, an eclectic mix of ages, genders, occupations, backgrounds, and interests. We celebrate service-minded members from all walks of life and are passionate about serving the children of our local community through unique and innovative service projects and fundraising initiatives to create a better place for children, so that they can thrive. We meet at Bravo Italian Kitchen, in Town Center, for lunch on the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of each month. OUR HISTORY

Kiwanis is a global organization with more than 550,000 members in 80 countries. Town Center Kiwanis Club is 1 of 11 local Kiwanis clubs within Division-14 of the Capital District. The Capital District consists of 20 Divisions across Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, and Washington, DC. Town Center Kiwanis was originally established on 08/30/1973, as the Kiwanis Club of Pembroke. In 2005, after 50 years of existence, the Suburban Kiwanis Club folded into the Pembroke Club. As part of this merger, it was decided to change the name to Town Center Kiwanis Club. The addition of core members from the Suburban club helped expand our “hands-on” activities into several charities and greatly added to our continued growth and success. WHAT WE ARE DOING THESE DAYS

We make Service and Fundraising…FUN! Our focus is community service, fundraising, and supporting activities throughout Hampton Roads. All our activities are directed towards “child-focused” charities that include valuable partnerships with Special Olympics, Seton House, For Kids, Achievable Dream, and many others. Each month, we focus on a themed, hands-on service project that covers mental health, hunger, homelessness, literacy, child leadership, and so on. Additionally, we have two main fundraisers: Neptune Fest and our Annual Charity Golf Tournament. WHERE WE’RE GOING

Today, you will find us planning and promoting events based on our experience, input from members, and trends that are working. Through guidance and example, the Town Center Kiwanis Club works to develop future generations of leaders. Every day, we are revitalizing neighborhoods, supporting youth programs, awarding scholarships, and performing countless other projects to help children and their communities. JOIN US

If you are looking for a way to give back to the community and enjoy the company of like-minded individuals, come visit us on the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of each month at 12:00 at Bravo Italian Kitchen in Town Center.

Today on National First Responders Day, the Town Center Kiwanis Club wants to say a massive THANK YOU to our local heroes.

To the firefighters, police officers, EMTs, paramedics, and dispatchers who keep our community safe every single day: we honor your courage, sacrifice, and dedication.

As Kiwanians, we believe in service and protecting the next generation. We are endlessly grateful to the first responders who serve as incredible role models for our kids and keep our families safe.

We see you, we appreciate you, and we thank you! 💙💛

We all have those mornings where the coffee hasn't kicked in yet! ☕️🤪

Today is officially National Cranky Co-Workers Day, and while Kiwanians are usually a pretty cheerful bunch, we know everyone has their moments.

Instead of hiding from the office grump today, why not surprise them with a treat or a quick laugh? A small act of kindness is the perfect way to turn a cranky Tuesday around—and serving others is exactly what Kiwanis is all about! 💙

Tag a coworker who absolutely needs their coffee before you speak to them today! 👇👇

Town Center Kiwanis has been supporting this initiative since it began.

Did you know that 250 million children worldwide lack basic literacy skills? 📖 When a Kiwanis club project helps a child learn to read, it empowers that child with better opportunities.

Make a gift to The Kiwanis Possibility Project through the Kiwanis Children's Fund to support club projects that open a world of possibilities for kids.

Who says changing the world can't be fun? 🍽️✨

At Town Center Kiwanis, we take our service seriously—but we don't take ourselves too seriously!

Yes, we launch big projects like our recent hygiene drive for Samaritan House. But we also share laughs over lunch, network with fellow Virginia Beach professionals, and build friendships that last a lifetime.

If you’ve been looking for a way to give back to VB and find your community, join us for lunch!

We meet every 1st and 3rd Wednesday at Bravo's, 12:00 PM. Come grab a bite on us and see what we’re all about. No pressure, just good people doing good things. 💛💙
