KAFASI's mission is to promote healthy aging, strong families and a connected community. We are home to Kenosha's largest volunteer force, providing programs and services supporting community members of every generation and stage of life. We would like to give a special shout out to Festival Foods for their generous contribution to our agency.
With their help we were able to have our broken HVAC system repaired, ensuring the safety and comfort of our staff, volunteers and clients. We appreciate Festival for their commitment to giving back to their communities, and thank them for supporting KAFASI; Where Kenosha Cares for Kenosha. Volunteering can be a meaningful way to reconnect with our community.
