Kiwanis Club Of Downey

The Kiwanis Club of Downey, CA, was chartered in 1924. This is our 90th year "Serving the Children of the World." We are a group of energetic members looking to help the community and make a difference in the lives of children in the City of Downey. The name “Kiwanis” was coined from an Otchipew American Indian expression, "Nunc Kee-wanis", variously translated as "we trade," "we share our talents,” “we make a noise," or "we meet”. This was originally the motto of Kiwanis, translated as "We Build." The current motto is "Serving the Children of the World"
