Hartwell & Hart County community service is our primary goal. At the Kiwanis Club of Hartwell, we strive to fulfill the Kiwanis vision of changing the world, one child and one community at a time. Through the participation of our members, we've helped to educate our children, support our community, and establish ourselves as the premier service organization in the City of Hartwell.
