Thankful for Great Volunteers

Happy Thanksgiving from AlexanderG. In that spirit, check out this great story from NBCActionNews in Kansas City about some fantastic volunteers at Front Porch Alliance:

John Adams and Criss Kirchhoff were busy making sure all the food was ready for pickup at the Front Porch Alliance.  The two retired men provide monthly food baskets for 120 needy families through the charitable organization.

But the tables were turned on them when they walked into a surprise party thrown by the recipients of the aid.

Adams and Kirchhoff were showered with Wine, food and praise from Front Porch staff and those they help. Adams started with the group driving people to the polls on Election Day in 2004. That year he started providing gift baskets for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Since then he’s brought his lifelong friend Kirchhoff on board to help an increasing number of families who need it. They are making sure every basket that goes out this week includes a Thanksgiving turkey.
