Annual Community Easter Egg Hunt
A Community favorite, the Emmaus Kiwanis Club has hosted this event for years. It is held the Saturday before Easter (rain or shine) at 1:00 pm at Community Park in the Borough. Hundreds of children arrive to collect 10,000 candy-filled eggs with prizes awarded if you collect a "special" egg. We have 5 age groups from 1-10 and the egg hunt moves quickly from 1 group to another. You may take free pictures with the Easter Bunny!
Annual Pancake Festival
The largest fundraiser of the club is the Annual Pancake Festival. Club members, Key Club members, and Builder’s Club members assemble on the first Sunday in June to serve pancakes and sausage to the public. This year the festival is on Sunday, June 2nd from 8:00 am to noon. We expect around 700 guests. The festival has grown into a huge event with area mascots, the Emmaus Fire Department, guest servers (the Emmaus Police Department), face painting, balloons, raffle items and so much more. The breakfast costs $10 and children under 8 are free.
The proceeds go toward community projects, scholarships, and youth activities. Breakfast is served from 8:00 a.m. to noon with basket raffle winners announced from 11:30 am-noon and is currently held at the Emmaus Fire Company #1, located at 6th and Broad streets in the borough of Emmaus. We encourage one and all to come and help us help the youth of our community!

Annual Special Needs Holiday Party
Every year the Emmaus Kiwanis is proud to host the Special Needs Christmas Party. It is held at Saint John's UCC in Emmaus on the second Wednesday evening in December. The Club hosts approximately 60 special needs children and adults. It is a fun time of singing, dancing, and comradery for everyone, with guest appearances by a magician, clown, and of course Mr. and Mrs. Claus. An abundance of elves help with the event too (the Emmaus HS Key Club). Best of all, everyone leaves with a personal gift from Santa!
Miracle League of the Lehigh Valley Volunteering
Miracle League is always looking for compassionate volunteers to assist at our games and events. We welcome sports teams, service groups, companies, families, and individual volunteers to sign up and be part of the miracle as an “Angel in the Outfield.” Spending time with our players is such a rewarding experience you will want to come back again and again!
Founded in 2006 through the efforts of a dedicated board and a caring community, The Miracle League of the Lehigh Valley provides sports and social activities year-round for hundreds of children and young adults with special needs. We were founded on the principles of inclusion, building self-esteem, and that everyone deserves a chance to play baseball and we continue to uphold those values today.

Annual Road Cleanup
The Emmaus Kiwanis Club assists with the beautification of the Community. One committed effort is the road clean-up project. Each year in Spring and Fall, the club alternates clean up along Buckeye Road.
