With the year of 2021 coming to an end, we reflect on the past year, and all that has unfolded. Whether it be the ongoing challenges of homelessness and poverty or the more current issues of COVID and local natural disasters, we, as a community, have faced an incredible amount of hardship. Even so, we continue to organize, communicate, and coordinate in order to make our best efforts in pushing forward the plane of progress. Individually, we all stand against these challenges; united, we rise above them. Only with these efforts from the many is KS Foundation able to support others as best as we can. Over the past year, thanks to help from all of you, we:

We greatly appreciate all that our supporters help us with; whether it be monetary donations or volunteering, our operations depend upon the goodwill of thoughtful individuals such as yourself. By investing in the community, you are investing in a brighter future. Thanks to all of our team members, volunteers, donors, and other supporters, we were able to continue to pursue our mission of helping others throughout the course of 2021. We look forward to an even brighter, more impactful 2022!
