What a great display of community and giving!  

Thank you to everyone who donated during the 6th Annual Kay’s Way Supply Drive, hosted by the MPACF Women’s Initiative. The drive honors community philanthropist Kay Krapohl Smith and supported The Care Store and RISE Advocacy this year. Running from May 7-22, the event brought in donations ranging from hygiene items, cleaning supplies, household essentials, and online support for the community.  

During Kay’s Way Oil Change on May 21, Krapohl Ford donated 100% of the proceeds, totaling $3,050!  

In addition to these efforts, hundreds of items were donated to uplift local women and girls in Isabella County. Members from the Women’s Initiative Committee collected and sorted the donations and distributed them to RISE Advocacy and The Care Store. Thank you to these members and organizations for your hard work and dedication to our community.

Thank you to Krapohl Ford and Weichert Realtors Broadway Realty for being donation sites in Mt. Pleasant throughout the whole event, and for your generosity as sponsors of the event.

Thank you to the Zonta Club of Mt. Pleasant for collecting donations and supporting this initiative.

Finally, thank you to everyone who gave donations, spread the word, and dedicated time and energy to this year's drive. We appreciate all the generosity and support of the 6th Annual Kay’s Way Drive.
