Taste of Wisconsin is produced by the Kiwanis Club of Western Kenosha as a major fundraiser for local charities. Its fundraising efforts are dedicated to providing a better quality of life for our area’s youth, elderly and disadvantage through programs such as Terrific Kids and Kiwanis Youth Baseball, and providing much needed funding to The Shalom Center’s shelter and food pantry programs. All proceeds in excess of operational expenses from Taste of Wisconsin benefit our chosen charities.

Here is just a sampling of the Kenosha area charities and community programs that the Western Kiwanis raise funds for:

  • Shalom Center - Shelter, Food Pantry & Soup Kitchen
  • Kenosha Meals on Wheels
  • Kenosha Police Department K-9 Unit
  • Terrific Kids Program
  • Kiwanis Youth Baseball
  • Christmas Basket Project
  • Camping Scholarships for the Handicapped
  • Kids Fishing Program 
  • Children & Women's Horizon
  • Walk A Mile In My Shoes
  • Kenosha Public Museums
