Aktion Clubs draw members from various organizations that support individuals with disabilities, as well as other community programs.

A Kiwanis club, composed of like-minded, service-oriented people from the community, serves as the club’s sponsor.
Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany chooses service projects that we feel need attention. They are all local people who volunteer their time and talents to make our community a better place to live. Members, like you, are busy with making a living, church, family, and many other activities. However, they have found that Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany gives not only a chance to give back to our community in a meaningful way, but enjoy the fellowship, networking, and fun aspects as well.
Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany meets weekly on Thursday at 7:15 a.m. at Empire Diner, 1315 Route 46.
