The Christmas station, KAFE 104.1 cares about our community!  THANK YOU for adopting all of the families in the Lydia Place program!  Your generosity will help over 100 families have a Merry Christmas!

Even though all of the individual families have been adopted, if you’d like to get involved with Lydia Place, there are other opportunities to donate.  Whether it’s volunteering, donating goods & services, or making a monetary donation, you can still help them out!
