Kanakuk Staff Gives Back


Walking into the K-Kauai dinning hall one day during workweek you notice there is something different. A massive transformation has taken place for the day and a clinic for a Kamp-wide blood drive has been set-up.

In the midst of hot days and late nights, the staff at Kanakuk is able to find time to give above and beyond what they are asked.

This will be the third year for Kamp to host a blood drive at K-Kauai during workweek. After taking a year off from the drive last year, Kamp is back at it and hoping to help give back to the community of Branson by donating blood.

The previous two blood drives have seen significant increase each year in participants. During the first year’s blood drive there were 51 participants and two summers ago there were 118. This year, the director of the blood drive said his goal would be 65 participants and he didn’t see any problem being able to fulfill it.

When talking to the director he had nothing but great things to say about the college-aged staff he sees throughout the day during this blood drive. Of the many blood drives they operate throughout the area, he said working with our Kamp staff is very enjoyable because of how kind and encouraging they are to all of the workers.

What an awesome testament to Kamp and all they are doing to give back during workweek!
