KC HELP Update

KC HELP continued its incredible growth pattern where this past month we helped 209 people in our community with 357 pieces of durable medical equipment, valued at over $92,000. In the past 12 months, KC HELP has helped over 2,000 of our neighbors with 4,173 items, valued at $1.2 Million!

Our Brother Knight volunteers work tirelessly every day to assist people in need of specialized equipment as they deal with the physical effects of aging or recovery from surgeries or accidents. It’s difficult to adequately express the immense gratitude that we see day in and day out and to imagine how these people might have dealt with their difficult circumstances had KC HELP not been available to assist them. If this is something you would like to be involved in, please contact us at 360-981-3179 to join our other Brother Knights in this valuable work.
