The CK Daily – December is for Giving
As we have shared in years past, giving is a priority here at CK. We find that there is so much joy experienced when you help meet the needs of others in a meaningful way. This year we are partnering with a local organization that I (Christin) have the privilege to serve with through board membership.
iServe Ministries serves the needs of our local community, our neighbors, by providing free food to those in need through a variety of programs. At Christmas iServe facilitates a toy giveaway in partnership with several local organizations. A few days before Christmas, a free breakfast is served and families in need can come with their children to pick out gifts for Christmas. The need this year is larger than we’ve ever seen it!
We’re collecting new, unwrapped toys for the giveaway. If you’d like to help us fill the space around our office tree, we’d be grateful! With the help of my 12-year-old (the expert Amazon shopper), I created a shopping list with gifts for children from babies to teens:

CK is matching donations from the list up to $10k (either via additional gifts or a donation).
During this end of year giving season, I encourage you to find a cause close to your heart to give your time or resources to — experience the connection and joy that helping others can bring!
