It has been said many times that Boys & Girls Homes of North Carolina changes the lives of the children it serves. The following two videos tell the stories of two original residents of the Kiwanis Cottage, who lived there from 1964 to 1966, and are examples of the positive impact made at what was then known as Boys Home. These videos were recorded in the Kiwanis Cottage in July 2025 before the renovations began.
Earlier this year, we began the $250,000 Campaign for the Kiwanis Cottage, so that the Kiwanis Cottage at Boys & Girls Homes of North Carolina could be renovated and new furnishings purchased. While the Cottage has served admirably for over 60 years, a renovation was needed to make it feel more like a home. The campaign has been a great success thus far as you can see in the attached campaign thermometer. We now hope we can exceed our original goal and provide some additional benefits for the residents of our Cottage. Specifically, a new van is needed for their transportation needs and we would like to establish a furniture replacement fund to keep the Cottage in tip-top shape. Gifts can still be made at f04.site.kiwanis.org/Kiwanis-cottage-challenge/... See MoreSee Less
