HOW YOU CAN HELP

Just as we have a mission to help as many homeless and needy people as possible, we have a responsibility to use resources wisely.

By volunteering time and resources, individuals and organizations enable KNMF to keep expenses low and use 93% of all donations to directly serve the needy. KNMF requires about $99,700 each year to fund all events and programs.

Financial support from individuals and businesses is necessary to carry out our programs.
