To whom it may concern:

I am writing to express my heartfelt support for the incredible work that Kitchen of Kindness does in our community. As the Mayor of La Junta, I have seen firsthand the impact that this organization has on the lives of those who need it most.

Kitchen of Kindness is a shining example of the generosity and compassion that defines our community. By providing free meals once a week to those who are less fortunate, they are not only feeding the hungry but also providing a sense of hope and belonging.

Their dedication to serving others is truly inspiring, and their impact goes far beyond just a meal. They are bringing people together, building connections, and showing us all what it means to live with kindness and empathy.

As a 501c3 organization, Kitchen of Kindness relies on the support of our community to continue their vital work. I encourage everyone to consider supporting this incredible organization in any way they can.

Thank you, Kitchen of Kindness, for all that you do to make La Junta a better place for everyone.

Sincerely,

Joe Ayala
Mayor of La Junta

Future team members.
