KCAO Events in September

This month, KCAO hosted two events with vaccine clinics.

On September 6, KCAO held a Health Clinic for its Head Start families. Families received vision and hearing screenings, dental screenings, and flu and COVID-19 vaccines during this event.

On September 14, KCAO hosted a Hispanic Heritage Month celebration with a performance from Kings Cultural Center. The community visited different resource booths, received free tacos, and received free vaccinations.  

 

Hunger Action Month: A Time to Make a Difference 

Every September, Hunger Action Month brings communities together to raise awareness and take action against hunger. This nationwide campaign, spearheaded by Feeding America, encourages individuals, organizations, and businesses to join the fight against food insecurity. 

KCAO is deeply committed to this cause. It conducts 14 food distributions each month and operates food pantries at Lemoore College and Family Health Care Network. These efforts ensure that families in our community have access to nutritious food. 

During Hunger Action Month, people are encouraged to volunteer at local food banks, donate non-perishable items, and advocate for policies that support those in need. Events such as food drives, fundraisers, and educational workshops are held to highlight the importance of ensuring everyone has access to nutritious food. 

Hunger Action Month is a powerful reminder that, together, we can make a significant impact in the lives of those facing hunger. By taking action, we can help create a future where no one has to worry about their next meal. If you want to donate or volunteer, please visit our website at kcao.org. 

 

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month: KCAO has two impactful events planned

October 17: Join us at the KCAO main office for a Walk and Resource Fair. The community is invited to gather at noon for a walk to show support for domestic violence victims. Enjoy free tacos and receive incentive gift cards for getting your flu and COVID-19 vaccines. 

October 26: Participate in KCAO’s first Color Run at Lemoore College, starting at 9:00 a.m. Registration is $10 per person, and participants will receive a breakfast burrito after the run. A vaccine clinic will also be available, offering incentive gift cards for those who get vaccinated. Registration opens on October 7, please visit the KCAO website to register: https://www.kcao.org. 

 

News Brief & Newsletter  

August was KCAO’s last News Brief for the year. KCAO is in the process of creating a new vision for News Briefs that will start again in January 2025. Since June 2023, KCAO has had over 2,500 views. Please visit our website or YouTube channel to see old News Briefs. KCAO envisioned the News Briefs as an outlet to provide information to the community on a weekly basis. KCAO will continue to provide weekly updates in 2025 with a new look and vibe. Stay tuned!  

KCAO is changing the release date of the monthly newsletters to the last Thursday of every month at 9:00 a.m. This change will allow us to report on what happened during the month and lead to what’s happening the following month. KCAO aims to make the newsletters informative and short. We hope you enjoy this publication and will continue to inform you of all the extraordinary work being done for our community.
