“Kenny and Linda make you feel so welcomed! I look forward to volunteering because they make it fun. I have served at other nonprofit organizations in KC, but I don’t get the same gratification that I do from KCCK. I like seeing the individuals I’m helping because I feel it is more of a direct impact.”
– Anonymous Volunteer
