The Darrel Bland Sertoma Club recently brought lunch to families and staff at KC Hospice inside North Kansas City Hospital. The menu featured chili with all the fixings, vegetables, corn muffins, and, always a favorite for both kids and adults, cupcakes.
Shortly after the meal, the club received a heartwarming thank-you note and a donation from one of the families. It meant so much to hear that our monthly lunch made a difference to families going through one of the toughest times of their lives.
It is moments like these that help our Sertoma (SERvice TO Mankind) club know that our mission is making a difference.
