Kiwanis Peanut Days

Kiwanis Peanut Days will be conducted on Friday, September 28 and Saturday, September 29 in Des Plaines, according to an official proclamation by Mayor Marty Moylan.


Volunteers will be at local intersections and participating businesses to ask for donations from the community. They will give out bags of peanuts in appreciation for the
community’s support. One hundred percent of the net proceeds received from residents and businesses are shared by the Des Plaines Kiwanis Foundation with
organizations in the community.


The Kiwanis Club of Des Plaines was chartered 72 years ago as a member of Kiwanis International, a global organization of members of every age who are dedicated
to changing the world, one child and one community at a time.
