Katlyn and Chris Knudsen of the KC Foundation are humbled to support the community during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. Their efforts are in memory of their late father, Chris Knudsen Jr.

The service and hospitality industries have been hit especially hard by this given that many in this field live paycheck to paycheck, often times unable to get health benefits or maintain emergency savings at their disposal.

Although this event is aimed towards assisting those in the service and hospitality industry, anyone who is in need of groceries and a free bag lunch are encouraged to stop by.

“To kick off our first event we are proud to announce that we will be donating 400 grocery boxes to our community. We want to help as many people in our community as possible, no explanation, no questions asked - just help for whoever needs it. We are hoping for a great turnout and are looking forward to seeing everyone the 21st.“ -Katlyn Knudsen, Founder of KC Foundation
