After the presentation of gifts was complete, we had a white elephant gift exchange of our own, to continue the celebration. It was a fun night had by all.
Kentucky Tornado Relief Collection
We want to send out a huge thank you to all who supported and contributed to the Kiwanis Kentucky Tornado Relief collection!
We cannot thank the community enough for their help in this project!
Lima Food Pantry – Book Project

When the Kiwanis Club of Honeoye Falls – Lima, Mendon invited the Lima Food Pantry Coordinator in to speak to the club, we found that there might be a need for them to hand out books to the children of the families which they provide food to. With the club’s connection to the Mendon Library, we were able to have books donated from the Library and give them to the Lima Food Pantry so that they could distribute them to the children during their monthly distribution.
Mendon Public Library Donation
Kiwanis Club of Honeoye Falls-Mendon delivered a check to the Mendon Public Library to support children and teens. The money they presented will bolster children and teen services at the library, allowing even more reading and engagement among area youth.
Bike for Patton!
Justin Hilimire, who shared that his 12-year-old son Patton has four disabilities and could no longer ride his bike, and was heartbroken over the prospect that he may never be able to do so again. the members of Kiwanis Club of Honeoye Falls-Mendon took this challenge on as a project to provide a new bike specially designed for Patton. Patton Hilimire and his father Justin were overjoyed when the bicycle specifically designed for Patton’s disabilities was delivered just after Christmas.
The Kiwanis Club of Honeoye Falls-Mendon would like to thank the other Clubs in the Finger Lakes Division: Farmington-Victor, Canandaigua, Geneva, Webster, Seneca Falls-Waterloo, and Penfield-Perinton for their help on this project. It is such a gift to be able to join together to help a child in a time of need and make amazing things happen.
Kade Project: Daystar Kids
What looks like a trunk full after an ordinary day of shopping, is actually full of donations from a community and local businesses. These donations will help a child and their family have some much needed items this holiday season. This is how Kiwanis can come together and make a difference in the lives of children and their families, one child at a time.
“Daystar is New York State’s only pediatric day-respite center, helping families successfully transition their infant or young child with special healthcare needs from the hospital to home and support their healthy development all the way until they enroll in kindergarten.”

The Kiwanis Club of Honeoye Falls-Lima, Mendon recently hosted a food drive at Honeoye Falls Marketplace, and thanks to the generosity of our community, we were able to donate 12 large boxes of food and $175 in gift cards to the Friends in Service Here Combined Communities Food Closet, serving Honeoye Falls, Mendon, and West Bloomfield.
These donations help provide food for local families, senior citizens, individuals with disabilities and medical needs, single parents, minimum-wage workers, and others in our community who may be facing difficult times.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who donated, volunteered, and helped make this food drive a success. Every jar, box, can, gift card, and dollar makes a difference—and together, those small acts of generosity become something much bigger. ❤️
This is what Kiwanis is all about: neighbors helping neighbors, strengthening our communities, and serving those who need us most.
Thank you to the Friends in Service Here Food Closet and its dedicated volunteers for the important work you do every day. We are honored to support your mission!

🇺🇸💥 Five Years of Making a Difference — One Cannon Blast at a Time! 💥🇺🇸
For the past five years, members of the Honeoye Falls–Lima–Mendon Kiwanis Club have proudly manned the tent, sold tickets, and helped visitors experience the thrill of firing a Civil War cannon replica as part of Cannons for Kannon at the Lima 4th of July Celebration.
But this event has always been about much more than the sound of the cannon.
Every ticket sold helps raise funds for the new Lima All-Inclusive Playground — a place where every child can play, belong, and be included, regardless of physical ability.
The playground was inspired by Kannon, a young boy from Lima whose physical limitations make traditional playgrounds difficult to enjoy. This new space is being designed so that Kannon and countless other children and families will have a place where barriers are removed, and everyone is welcome.
Watching the smoke roll across the field and hearing the cheers after each firing is exciting. Knowing that those moments are helping build a playground where every child can experience the joy of play is even better.
This is what Kiwanis is all about: ❤️ Serving children 💙 Strengthening communities 💛 Turning compassion into action
Thank you to everyone who stopped by, purchased a ticket, and helped move this dream one step closer to reality.
