Last week, Overland Park Rotary had the opportunity to partner with Feed the Children at Kauffman Stadium to help serve our community by distributing food, personal care items, backpacks, and bottled water to local families.

It was an incredible day of giving back and supporting those who need it most. We're grateful to everyone who volunteered and helped make a positive impact. Together, small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

Thank you to everyone who made this event possible! โค๏ธ
