District Convention 2026

ROCK ON! Kiwanians

The Nebraska-Iowa Kiwanis District is excited to announce the featured speaker and service project for this year’s District Convention!!!

Greg Kraemer with the Omaha SHP Chapter will be at convention to share the mission and help Nebraska-Iowa Kiwanians to build beds.

A project, that was started with the build of one bed for a single family developed into something a whole lot more. The wood left over from the first bunk, another idea was created. “Who else could benefit from this bunk”?

Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) is a volunteer-driven nonprofit dedicated to building and delivering hand-made, fully furnished beds to children in need. SHP’s mission is to tackle childhood bedlessness, which are estimated to affect nearly 3% of the population.

Today, there are 327 SHP chapters in 47 states and, since its start in 2012, more than 250,000 beds have been delivered.
