Lend-a-Hand Community Enhancement Initiative
Do you know a Flower Mound resident that needs help with outside repairs or maintenance of their home/property? KFMB’s Lend-AHand program was created to do just that! The program includes work days throughout the year as the needs arise and funding is available. Please contact KFMB if you know of someone that needs help or would like to serve on the Lend-A-Hand committee.
KFMB Volunteers Really Add Up!
KFMB was honored to accept the 2020 Flower Mound Outstanding Group Citizenship Award. This was earned because of their amazing volunteers who completed 3,295 service hours in 2020! It could be easy to get caught up in everything that didn’t go to plan in 2020; however, KFMB focuses on the resilience that everyone has shown throughout it all. Thank you to everyone who still found the time, energy, motivation, and kindness to give back to the community when we needed it most. KFMB couldn’t be more proud to serve your local environmental nonprofit. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Monthly Cleanups
Join KFMB on the third Saturday of the month from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. for a small local clean up, beautification project, or Lend-A-Hand project. Do you need to complete service hours but can’t make it to KFMB’s monthly cleanups?
