20 for 20: Nourish KC & Happy Bottoms
At Clockwork, giving back is in our DNA. This year, to celebrate our 20th anniversary, we launched the "20 for 20" campaign, supporting 20 non-profits!
Recently, our team volunteered at NourishKC, a fantastic organization fighting food insecurity in Kansas City, and Happy Bottoms, which is dedicated to fighting diaper need right here in the Kansas City metro area.
NourishKC is a true champion, serving nearly half a million meals last year and rescuing over 620,000 pounds of food from landfills. We were excited to jump in and help their daily lunch service!
From plating and serving meals to cleaning and chatting with guests, our team served over 200 lunches. It wasn't just about the food – it was about connecting with the community. We saw firsthand the importance of NourishKC's work, and it filled us with a deep sense of accomplishment.
This experience wasn't just about helping others, it was also about building our team. Working together towards a common goal brought us closer, reminding us of the importance of community – both inside and outside Clockwork!
Since 2009, Happy Bottoms has been a champion for families, bridging the diaper gap for those struggling to afford this essential but often overlooked need. Their mission to collaborate with the community to provide diaper support empowers families, enhances child health, and enables parents to attend work or school – a true win-win for our city.
We were thrilled to lend a hand with their mobile diaper preparation and fulfillment program. The task? Transforming bulk diaper packs into smaller, manageable bundles for easy distribution. It might sound simple, but it makes a huge difference! Every diaper helps Happy Bottoms reach families struggling to afford this basic necessity.
The Clockwork crew dove right in, unpacking, repackaging, and organizing a whopping 2,500 diapers! It wasn't just about the numbers, though. We saw firsthand the impact Happy Bottoms has on families, and it fueled our determination to help. By ensuring access to diapers, Happy Bottoms alleviates stress and challenges for families, allowing them to focus on what matters most – their children's well-being.
We're so grateful for Happy Bottoms and the incredible work they do. If you're looking for a way to make a difference in your own community, we highly recommend checking them out!
