This year, we partnered with the Police Athletic League of KCK, Pro Deo Youth Center, KCIA, FosterAdopt Connect, the McKinney-Vento Program at the KCK School District, and Clay County Social Services to deliver 250 Thanksgiving meals to 250 families across the Kansas City Metro. We are happy to be able to bring joy and warmth to families in need. Our volunteers worked hard to shop, prepare, and package each meal, including the classic Thanksgiving favorites. We were blown away by the volunteers who made this incredible effort possible.

As we reflect on the true meaning of Thanksgiving, we are reminded that it is not just about the food on our tables but about the love, kindness, and generosity we share with one another. We are so glad we got to play a small part in bringing happiness to these wonderful families.

We want to thank everybody who contributed to this effort. Thank you for helping us spread Thanksgiving cheer!
