Gratitude for face masks
KSS would like to extend a huge debt of gratitude to the Ladies in the Ambers who have so kindly sewn homemade masks for our KSS staff. The entire KSS staff, on all levels, are humbled by this kind gesture. KSS has paid the kindness forward, with the extra masks being donated to other local businesses and families that are in need.
