The Season of Giving – Christmas 2023
Thank you all to those who donated gifts and helped us shop. The magic of Christmas was a little brighter this year for 23 children in the Talladega and Lincoln area. We also included some food from HoneyBaked Ham store for a holiday meal, thanks to a generous donor of several gift cards. We included some sides for the meal as well, complements of our annual Casino night fundraiser. Happy Holidays!
A Kiwanis Thanksgiving 2023 …
We had such a bountiful out-pouring of food that we had to organize it prior to sending it to the families in need. Our Kiwanis members hard at work making it easy for our kids and their families to fine all of those important sides to complete their Thanksgiving meal. These sides went well with the turkey purchased from the funds we were able to raise at our annual Casino Night in June.
Supporting Sleep in Heavenly Peace
At an empty Talladega race course garage November 11th, our Kiwanis volunteers supported the Sleep in Heavenly Peace group who coordinated the build of hundreds of beds for children in the Talladega and Birmingham areas. These groups bring beds and bedding to children in our area who do not sleep in a bed each night. They put the beds together, and make up the bed with new sheets and comforters. What a wonderful way to support the children of our area, a good night’s sleep!
Fall Food Drive 2023 – Preparing for Thanksgiving
In preparation for our Thanksgiving meal boxes for the children of Talladega and Lincoln, we held a food drive at both the Lincoln and Talladega Piggly Wiggly (https://bakerspigglywiggly.com/). Such amazing members of our home towns, and several charitable race fans from all over the world, donated hundreds of cans of vegetables, bags of dry goods, and boxes of cereal! We were exceptionally thankful for our partners, Baker Foods for letting us set-up outside of their Lincoln and Talladega stores. We will add perishable items like meat, milk and eggs to the nutritious donations collected this weekend for some deserving families this Thanksgiving.

Mardi Gras Parade Benefiting The Historic Talladega Ritz Theatre
“It was a cool damp day but it didn’t stand in the way of the annual Mardi Gras Parade in Talladega. The festivities continue next weekend with the annual Mardi Gras Gala at the Speed Vision Dome, with proceeds going to benefit arts education programs at Talladega’s Historic Ritz Theatre.” The Daily Home
Christmas 2022
Inaugural Project – Thanksgiving Meal
It was Thanksgiving, and we had organized the club a few weeks prior. Our Kiwanis club did not hesitate in the face of a $0 budget. While we were aiming to help 2-4 families with Thanksgiving food, by working together, we were able to help almost 10 families.
Inaugural Kiwanis Guest Speaker – Jessica Westbrook Brummett, The Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind
Thank you Jessica for sharing the story of the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind (AIDB). It truly is an Alabama hidden gem, right in my back yard.
Did you know that every neck tie for every military branch since WWII has been made in Talladega by the blind and deaf of AIDB?
