Kiwanis Club of Douglaston & Big Apple joined the pandemic relief efforts.

Summer heat can be a threat to anyone, especially the elderly, those with medical conditions, or people without air conditioning. To help those in need beat the inevitable heat, the Kiwanis Club of Douglaston & Big Apple have partnered with all the Kiwanis Clubs in Queens east division to provide fans to the local shelters. We delivered over 50 units of fans to 3 different shelters. Special thanks to all the donors and members who helped on this project, especially during this difficult time. Kiwanis Clubs of Douglaston and Big Apple are committed to help, support, and engage any activities that could reshape the community. As part of the pandemic relief effort, we are partnered with New York State Senator, John Liu’s office in distributing PPE supply to local churches. Through the help from our Distinguished Lt. Governor, Sandy Liu, and President-Elect, Chung Dick, more than 500 surgical masks are distributed to the local churches as part of the awareness program to keep the community safe from COVID-19 spread. “Kiwanis is an organization that cares about all the important issues in the community we served. Actions speak louder than words, we hope our relief efforts can encourage more people to learn about our clubs and eventually participate in our programs.” Chung Dick said.
