K.I.D.S. (Kiwanis In Direct Support) for Riley is an exciting program to benefit the families of Riley Hospital for Children, Indiana’s only comprehensive children’s hospital. Coordinated by Hoosier Kiwanians, this initiative helps meet the needs of Riley families through hands-on support and service projects that benefit children at the hospital and throughout communities statewide.


Komfort Kart

Rita and Jim Dinius have been volunteering at Riley Hospital for Children for more than 20 years! Once a month, they drive two hours each way to spend the day at the hospital. Their current role involves taking the Kiwanis Club “Komfort Kart” around to the different units in the hospital to provide essential items to Riley parents. They say they enjoy chatting with the parents and offering a little help during a difficult time.
