In this episode, Jessica Lehnherr, CEO of United Way of Kaw Valley, and Brett Martin, Vice President of Community Impact, join us to dive into the incredible work their organization does across four counties. We explore the legacy of the Christmas Bureau, a decades-old initiative that connects donors, adopters, and families in need during the holiday season.
From its humble beginnings cataloguing with index cards to serving over 1,000 households today, the Christmas Bureau demonstrates the power of compassion and collaboration. Hear about the challenges of meeting growing needs in the face of rising costs, the unique role of volunteers, and the profound impact of providing dignity to families.
