Serving the Children of the World

Thank you for visiting the Hooksett Kiwanis Club website. Money Magazine recently named Hooksett as one of the top 100 places to live in America. Hooksett Kiwanis is one of more than 8,000 Kiwanis Clubs located in over 90 nations, and one of only 10% of the Kiwanis Clubs in New England to earn distinguished status in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. Our primary focus is improving the lives of children in our community and throughout the world.

On April 21, 2012 we will host the third annual Hooksett Community Leaders Recognition Event in the Dining Center at Southern New Hampshire University. Details, including a link to the nomination form, are available on the Community Leaders tab on the left side of this Home Page.

On September 24, 2011 we held the First Annual Hooksett Kiwanis Road Race. This race was unique in that it took runners and walkers through one of the the most picturesque areas of Hooksett. For information, click on the Kiwanis Road Race tab on the left side of this page.

The Club's newest project is developing walking and biking trails in Hooksett. Please see photo in upper right hand corner of this home page.The Hooksett Town Council recently designated Hooksett Kiwanis as the entity to develop and maintain trails in our community. This is a challenging multi-year service project. In December 2010 we completed resurfacing nearly all of the 1.5 mile Head's Pond Trail from Route 3 to the Great Pond.
