Volunteer spotlight : How one woman made our mission HER mission

The heart of KCMO Angels lies in our mission - to walk alongside children, youth, and families in the foster care community by offering consistent support through intentional giving, relationship building, and mentorship. Through this walk, we find all kinds of helpers. We get people and companies who want to donate money and supplies, we get people who are interested in serving on our board to help grow the organization to reach more kids and families, we get people who have a heart for serving and want to volunteer to help those in the foster care system. But the person we are telling you about today is ALL of these things. This person has made OUR mission HER mission - and for that we are eternally grateful.

​Robin found out about KCMO Angels through her incredible daughter who was serving on our founding board. At a dinner one night, Robin got to hear more about the story of Angels and what we are trying to do to change the disheartening statistics children and youth in foster care are facing. Both Robin and her husband Bill, know that the only way non-profit organizations can stay afloat is through donations so they committed to helping our mission and cause without hesitation. But that just wasn’t enough for Robin. After becoming a donor, she felt a call to become a volunteer in one of our programs. Not only did Robin believe in our mission enough to give monetarily, she believed enough to give of her time…everyone's most valuable asset. Along with her dear friend Leslie, (The dynamic Love Box Duo!)  they signed up to be LoveBox Leaders with a fostering family on our waitlist. Each month, at least once a month, they pour love and time into the children in this family’s home that are currently  experiencing foster care. The support and care and concern they offer to this family is above and beyond. The lives of all those in this home are positively impacted by Robin and her friend. After becoming a volunteer, Robin decided to add yet ANOTHER way she could support the Angels mission. She became a member of our Advisory Board. This position is 100% volunteer and Robin is so giving of her time and talents to help in this way.
