Kiwanis Diakonia Award
The Goshen Noon Kiwanis Diakonia Award for service is an award our club started over 20 years ago. Through this annual award, our club recognizes someone outside the club who has also dedicated a large portion of their time in service to others.
 
The requirements are:
  • The service recognized by this award must be unpaid
  • The nominee(s) must belong to or attend a church or synagogue
  • The nominee must not be a member of the Goshen Noon Kiwanis Club
  • Our club members submit nominations and the Human and Spiritual Values Committee votes for the annual winner of the award
