Spring cleaning time! Donate Now
Time to Declutter
It’s that time of year again – spring cleaning time! Time to open those closets and garages and get rid of all the stuff that’s been piling up over the years. Say goodbye to those old clothes that don’t fit anymore, the shoes you never wore, and the stuffed animals that have been collecting dust.
Out with the Old
Take a good look at everything you own and ask yourself if you need it. If not, it’s time to let it go. Donate it to charity, Kiwanis and the Arthur L Johnson High School Key Club Kids will gladly accept your bags of goods. Clearing out the clutter will not only make your space look better, but will also make you feel lighter and more organized.
Don’t Forget the Garage and Attic
Don’t just stop at your closets – make sure to tackle your garage and attic too. These are often places where things get stored and forgotten about. Look at your old bikes, scooters, strollers, and other items that are taking up space. If you’re not using them, it’s time to say goodbye.
Get the Family Involved
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be a solo activity. Get the whole family involved and make it a fun event. Put on some music, set some goals, and work together to declutter your home. You’ll be amazed at how much you can do when you work as a team.
Enjoy Your Clean Space
Once you’ve decluttered and dropped off your bags at the ALJ high school, and organized your home, take a moment to enjoy your clean space. Breathe in the fresh air, admire your tidy closets, and revel in accomplishment. Spring cleaning may be a lot of work, but the result is definitely worth it.
Wrapping party for Jenni’s Toys
Every year, we partner with a group very dear to our hearts. Jenni’s Toys is an organization dedicated to help local families and children. Their goal is to contribute to those in need during the holiday season with toys, clothes, medical needs and food. During the holiday season, we gather to gift wrap over items that were donated by individuals and businesses. We were able to provide gifts for over 600 children.
It was time well spent this year; the number of donations were more than the last. Key club volunteers from ALS high school increased our ranks to finish this task in record time. I love this stuff!
Miracles for Myeloma 5K
Save the date! Our 12th Annual Miracles for Myeloma 5K Run/Walk is scheduled for Saturday, September 14, 2024. Register as individuals or teams, all are welcome!!
Last year it was held at Oak Ridge Park in Clark, N.J. This event was a great success. Last year they were able to raise $49.7K to help find a cure for multiple myelomas. It was a hybrid event with virtual racing for those who could not attend. Rain or shine, our participants run and walk, to support the vital goal of a cure for multiple myelomas.
Miracles for Myeloma 5K Run/Walk has raised more than $830K since it’s inception in 2013. These funds contribute significantly to the myeloma research. To date, it has funded 10 grants for the Brian D. Novis research program and a senior research project with Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH.
Help us make this year’s 5K even better than the last. Keep updated here with Kiwanis Club of Clark or click the logo to go to their Facebook?Meta page.

Stocking Stuffers United
Clark Kiwanis elves are diligently prepping for another winter with stocking stuffers. Each winter our members contribute time for holiday stocking stuffing. The items go to the Visions and Pathways for abused, homeless, and at-risk kids. This year the elves, stuffed-a-plenty, 30 stockings. Well done sprightly elves!
Oh Kiwanis tree, Kiwanis tree, how lovely are your branches
News break!…We caught two holiday pixies with a beautiful Kiwanis Christmas tree. Members Ron and Sheree Pask were observed placing and decorating our very own Kiwanis tree outside of town hall by the office of the clerk. It’s rare to catch them in the act! We appreciate your commitment to spread the holiday cheer…you sneaky rascals.
