Bellmore and Long Island Community Service through Charity Events is our primary goal. At the Bellmore Kiwanis Club we strive to fulfill the Kiwanis vision of changing the world, one child and one community at a time. Through the participation of the members of the Bellmore Kiwanis Club, we've helped to educate our children, support our community, and establish ourselves as the premier service organization in Bellmore.
Bringing Long Island Community Service to the forefront of Long Islander's minds is one of the main objectives of the Bellmore Kiwanis Club.

The principle core of the Kiwanis mission is the belief that the most effective way to enhance a community is to enhance its children. When you give a child a chance to learn, experience, dream and succeed, great things will happen. The needs of young children are Priority One at Kiwanis. But those needs vary from country to country, and from community to community.
On the international level Kiwanis supports a worldwide service project to eliminate iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). IDD is the world's leading preventable cause of mental retardation. Since 1994 Kiwanis has invested 80 million dollars and saved millions of children in more than 80 countries. It has been projected that IDD will be virtually eliminated.
