Over the years, Tracy Kiwanians have carried out a number of community-service programs, including sponsoring middle school students of the month, the Tracy Junior Miss pageant and the Farm-City Football game. The club is a major sponsor of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program in all Tracy-area elementary schools and also sponsors a stamp club for patients at the Livermore Veterans Administration convalescent facility.
