At Kirkwood United Soccer Club, giving back is part of who we are. Serving our community is woven into the fabric of our mission, just as tightly as player development and love for the game. We believe in building not only great athletes, but compassionate, engaged individuals who understand the importance of contributing to the world around them.

Our players, families, and coaches actively participate in a wide variety of service initiatives that reflect the values we instill on and off the field. Whether it’s supporting local causes or reaching communities around the globe, Kirkwood United is proud to lead with purpose and heart.

Ongoing Community Involvement Includes:

• Kick for Cancer: Our annual match at Kirkwood High School rallies players, families, and the local community to raise awareness and funds for cancer research and patient support. It's more than a game—it's a celebration of hope and unity.
• Global Impact Through Gear: We collect and donate gently used uniforms, cleats, and equipment to underprivileged communities around the world—giving the gift of the game to those who need it most.
• Fighting Hunger: Through meal-packing events and food drives, our club regularly contributes to feeding the hungry across the region. Players learn the value of service and teamwork beyond the field.
• Community Clean-Ups: From parks to school grounds, our teams help keep local spaces clean and welcoming—promoting pride and responsibility in our shared environment.

These efforts are just a glimpse into how Kirkwood United Soccer Club brings its core values to life. We are proud to be more than just a soccer club. We are a catalyst for positive change, inspiring our athletes to grow not only as players but as thoughtful leaders in their communities.
