Community Steps Up After Storm | Topeka News

A devastating storm tore through Kansas City, Kansas, leaving homes damaged, power outages widespread, and families scrambling for essentials. But in the aftermath, local heroes are stepping up — especially the Organization for Community Preservation (OCP), which is distributing free food, books, and craft kits to kids and families. Camille Caldwell, OCP’s VP and a lifelong resident of the neighborhood, stresses the power of community resilience when outside help is slow. This Saturday, from 11 AM to 2 PM, they’ll be at Wilson’s Pizza & Grill on Quindaro Blvd with a non-perishable food market and water. When disaster strikes, it’s neighbors who show up first — and strongest. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
