Photos From Convoy of Hope’s Kansas City Community Event

We had the opportunity to partner with our friends in Kansas City to put on an event in Swope Park where we served more than 1,300 guests of honor with free goods and services. Volunteers braved the rain and shared their hearts of compassion with each person attending the event.
