St. John Lutheran Donates School Kits

St. John Lutheran Sunday school packed 160 school kits for Lutheran World Relief. Sunday, October 19. was the day to load the trailer. All the kids got to help. 

Lola Rahjes and Ella Bretton worked together to carry a heavy box of school kits, Jenna Molzahn not far behind.

Breast Cancer Awareness 

TR KAY Pink Out night last Friday was a great success! The stands were filled with pink in support of all who fight or have fought breast cancer! The KAYS collected donations to give to Bobbi Basart as she battles her own breast cancer. KAYS appreciates everyone who supported their efforts Friday!

Cameron Hardacre, Levi Rust, and April Webb work the pink table.

KCS Appreciates You!

The Kensington Community Store board and staff wish to extend gratitude to everyone who made our soup luncheon fundraiser a success. We could not do it without you!

While we truly appreciate the generosity of donations, we need more foot traffic. Our daily sale numbers are down and it takes YOU shopping with us to keep the doors open. So, what can we do to get more people through the door???

If you have any questions or ideas, please feel free to contact a board member: Milton Detwiler (chair), Joan Nech, Sandi Reneberg, Tyler Avon, Erica Barnes, Mat Hohner, Brittany Herrick. This store is community owned and your opinion matters.
