Every year in late summer The Kiwanis Club of Tillamook Foundation requests applications from Tillamook County non-profits that serve children in Tillamook County. The applicants are required to submit their applications and must show how the funds received will support projects for children
The mission of the Kiwanis Club of Tillamook is to “Serve the Children of Tillamook County”. By providing these grants to non-profits throughout Tillamook County we support our mission.
During the month of October, diapers and baby wipes are collected to benefit Healthy Families at CARE. Drop off boxes are located at the YMCA, the lobby of Adventist Health Hospital and Tillamook Early Learning Center.
