February Spreads 2,982 Pounds of Love in KC

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

This Leo Buscaglia quote encapsulates our February when the Kansas City community gallantly gathered to SPREAD their effort, funds, and THE LOVE to feed their neighbors in need.

Per Jo Hickey, JFS Food Pantry Director, “I am pleased to announce that we had 19 known groups contribute 2,982 pounds of love to be spread throughout Greater Kansas City.”

We would especially like to thank these community members for their donations:

Kaufman Center for the Performing Arts • Mariner Wealth Advisors • Flying Horse Taproom • Kristen Fromm’s Book Club • Sloop Dental Co. • Eclectics Gift Gallery • Sharon Johnson • Marla Brockman Super Bowl Party • Zeta’s • MarksNelson • Atonix Digital, a division of Black & Veatch • CASA of Jackson County • 601 Building, Brookside East • S-3 Advisors • Omni HR • JFS Staff • Evie Grant • Pediatric Associates of Overland Park • Shawnee Mission East Mr. Cansas
