2025 KCAHCE Community Service Project

The 2025 Community Service Project, planned by the Good Neighbors HCE Club, will be to support Freedom for LIFE. The LIFE Initiative, Inc., aims to collaborate with all essential organizations and agencies to prevent, combat and eradicate human trafficking as well as recover and support all victims of this crime.
The first aspect of support that we will be providing for them is fleece blanket throws. The organization put out a request for 75. Several of the Good Neighbors Club members have been watching for sales and purchasing the throws. Others have been gathering fleece fabric with the plan to create throws. Prior to our Association meeting on January 18th, we will be working to assemble some no-sew blankets for this initiative. Please arrive at 10:30 to begin.
Our tentative plan for the later part of the year is to collect small personal care toiletries for the bags that are provided to the victims as they are initially supported and comforted.
