Organization
Circle K International is a service organization formed to help the community
through various service projects. It is part of an umbrella of organizations led
by Kiwanis International. Circle K International also aims to build fellowship
and create leaders within the membership.
The organization raises funds for various causes. The major initiative is:
“Focusing on the Future: Children” which aims to help children of ages six to
thirteen. In 2007, Circle K partnered with the U.S. fund to help raise $500,000
for UNICEF in efforts to help children around the world who do not have
access to clean drinking water. This is called “Saving Lives – The Six Cents
Initiative.” It got its name from the cost in U.S. funds, to purchase one pack
of rehydration salts to purify a day’s worth of drinking water. Their service
partners include UNICEF, Students Team Up to Fight Hunger (STUFH), March
of Dimes, Better World Books, and The Tomorrow Fund.
