A day of service is planned for Gov. Laura Kelly’s inauguration.
The day of service will take place from 9 a.m. to noon Jan. 7 at Cross-Lines Community Market, 736 Shawnee Ave., Kansas City, Kansas.
In Wyandotte County, Cross-Lines has organized a food and hygiene-household product drive.
Volunteers will participate by donating food, hygiene and household items to Cross-Lines Community Market. Cross-Lines provides direct assistance to at-risk families, the elderly and single individuals struggling to make ends meet.
The mission of Cross-Lines is to provide people in the Kansas City area affected by poverty with services and opportunities that encourage self-confidence, meet today’s needs and provide tools for future self-sufficiency.
