Thanks to everyone who helped make this years Holiday Store and Holiday Meals a Success!
Last week's CAC holiday store was a great success, providing food, gifts and stocking stuffers to more than 250 adults, teens and children. It wouldn't have been possible without the generous support of so many south Kansas City churches, businesses, and civic organizations.  Some of the organizations that provided food, gifts, and money were: Grace Point Baptist Church, Hickman Mills Community Christian Church, John Knox Presbyterian Kirk, St. Luke's United Methodist Church, St. Matthew Apostolic Catholic Church, St. John Francis Regis Catholic Church, Terrace Lake United Methodist Church, VFW Post 8100, and the C. H. Robinson office in Kansas City.

A special Thank You to our key holiday store volunteers Deb, Arnita, April and Sue who set up,  managed, staffed and closed down the store: .

You all helped create a much happier holiday for so many of our south KC neighbors in need!
