When tens of thousands of Kansas City residents take to the roads and skies this holiday season, they will unknowingly spread germs as they go. That’s where the Kansas City mutual aid group 816 COVID Crew comes in — by helping provide free, high-quality masks to the public.
Holiday travel brings higher risk of infection. A Kansas City group is helping people mask up
The Kansas City Aviation Department expects nearly 400,000 people through the airport during Thanksgiving week, meaning an increased chance of local infections. One local group is helping travelers take proper precautions.

That's our family, especially after the kids watched an episode of Nature Cat on that topic. Let the leaves be!
While it feels like common practice to rake leaves and remove them from lawns, there’s a growing movement of people who are treating leaves more like essential habitat for local species rather than a waste product.
