Take a Stand Against Child Hunger: Support the Olathe Mayor’s Community Food Drive This April
Join Us in the Fight to End Childhood Hunger in Olathe
The Olathe Mayor’s Community Food Drive aims to eliminate food insecurity among children in our community.
Right here, in our community, families struggle to put food on the table, children go to bed hungry, and others wonder where their next meal will come from. However, amidst these challenges, we can ignite a spark of hope, show compassion, and create lasting change.
In a time when kindness holds unparalleled importance, we invite you to come together in a meaningful effort that will truly transform the lives of those in greatest need.
Your Generosity Helps End Uncertainty
This April, the Olathe Mayor’s Community Food Drive is dedicated to ensuring no child in Olathe faces hunger this summer. By rallying the community for food and monetary contributions, the initiative aims to provide crucial support during the challenging summer months and weekends.
