Ready for the ultimate day of community giving back?
Pointsgiving 2026: Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026
Pointsgiving is an impactful community day of giving back that’s held the first Saturday in November each year at Community Park in Point Pleasant Boro. This year’s event will take place Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026 from 1-4 p.m. (Rain location: Pt. Beach High School gym—we will update details here if we decide to use indoor location.)
Anyone can stop by the park to learn more about local school and nonprofit organizations, participate in hands-on service projects or drop off donations. However you’d like to pitch in, we’d like you to come on OUT for this meaningful event where every attendee makes a difference.
This year, Kiwanis will host a few stations:
Kids clothing swap (newborn to size 14)
Clothing drive (bagged clothing, linens, stuffed animals OK)
Teacher’s Closet donation drop off—collecting school supplies and toiletries
Hot cocoa stand (fundraiser for our Key Clubs)
Buy 2027 coupon books or a 50/50 ticket to support our work with local youth
Learn more about the amazing ways Kiwanis helps children
Vote for your favorite station, which will receive a donation courtesy of Maureen Skea of Ward Wight Sotheby’s International Realty in Spring Lake, NJ.
Make a bracelet with K-Kids to support The Village, CLCL Foundation, We Are Loved, and G’s Giving Gowns
And more!
