Last year, KVC Kansas exceeded their goal of holiday donations and every child in care received gifts! This holiday season, we wanted to be a part of that. We are adopting 4 “angels” and will be donating items from their wish list. If you would like to learn more about the KVC Angel program or would like to adopt an angel, check out their website.
