Thunder Bay Multicultural Association Funding for the rent at OKC Westfort Family Resource Centre
The Ogden Community School K‑Kids had an informative visit this week with Brenda from Grace Place. She shared how the organization supports community members through shelter and meal programs, and the K-Kid members were truly inspired. After her talk, the club decided to take action with a Blessing Bag project to help those in need. We’re very proud of these young leaders and their growing commitment to service. #kidsneedkiwanisOgden Community School... See MoreSee Less
