The Kiwanis Club of Paducah was chartered January 20, 1939, in Paducah, Kentucky under the statutes and bylaws of Kiwanis International. The club's mission statement mirrors that of Kiwanis International. Our purpose is to improve the quality of life for children and families worldwide, but in particular, those in our own back yard. The Kiwanis Club of Paducah through Kiwanis Club of Paducah Foundation support children and organizations impacting children through partnerships and donations to organizations that further that cause.
