Coat drive a huge success



The month-long coat drive sponsored by MKC was deemed a huge success, collecting 518 coats along with a small number of caps and gloves.  Members of the MKC Community Involvement Committee initially set out to collect 250 gently used or new coats. 

Committee members Erin Riley and Shannon Hastings prepare
the 100 (plus) coats dropped off in Moundridge.

“We are overjoyed by the generosity of those who donated,” states Committee Member, Shannon Hastings. “We want to thank everyone for their support.”

Delivery of the generously donated coats started earlier this month.  When finished, more than 12 communities will have benefited from the drive.

Help save a life - donate blood

For about 45 minutes to an hour of your time, you could help save someone’s life.  That’s the amount of time it takes to donate one pint of blood.

MKC employees and the public will have the opportunity to donate at upcoming blood drives co-sponsored by the MKC Community Involvement Committee and local American Red Cross chapters.  Drives will be hosted in Moundridge, Haven, Walton, Bennington and Lindsborg.
