United Way looks back on year like no other

HANNIBAL — The United Way of the Mark Twain Area looked back on a year filled with hope, setting up an emergency COVID-19 Response Fund to meet local needs and receiving donations for the 2020-2021 Be a Hero Campaign during a year unlike any other. Denise Damron, executive director of the United Way of the Mark Twain Area, kicked off the virtual look back at noon Wednesday on YouTube. The video showed how the United Way and partner agencies made a difference throughout the year — made possible through the generosity of individuals, businesses and foundations. Forrest Gossett, 2020-2021 campaign chairman, said donations to fund partner agencies’ efforts are critical to combat homelessness, child and spousal abuse, hunger and other issues which have become more prevalent during the pandemic.

Kids in Motion ready for new year, growth

HANNIBAL — Kids in Motion is heading into 2021 with a characteristic Douglass Community Services Youth Services Director Jared Moore has seen in abundance — resilience. “We serve students who have had to be resilient in life, who have faced difficult situations they’ve had to bounce back from already,” Moore said. “That skill of resilience is something that I feel like Kids in Motion does a great job with.” KIM, a program of Douglass Community Services and supported by funding from United Way, adapted its traditional eight-week summer work program to an online format for 2020 due to the pandemic. Moore said kids were eager and ready for the changes, performing service projects including cleaning up the hiking trails at Hannibal-LaGrange University and making Christmas cards for residents at Country View Nursing Facility. Members are gathering at First Presbyterian Church for after-school programs, and volunteers are being sought.
