A better place to live and work.
As an organization, the KLCFDC is always working in our community. All of our Directors are engaged in other activities: volunteering at events, raising funds, mentoring, whatever may be needed, including sitting on other Boards of Directors. We may also be involved as a funding source, through in-kind work or as a facilities provider, or even in becoming a public animator in community economic development activities. We realize it's not always about the money so we look to provide support in whatever ways we can.
