SACS is an organization of single adults who give their time to
assist local agencies and charities that
rely on volunteers. The Kansas City organization was co-founded by
Alan Saighman and Elaine
Hughes in 1997 and is modeled after a similar group founded in 1991 in Tulsa.
SACS currently maintains a membership list of over
200 participants and is overseen by 7 Board members. Organizations
that have been helped by SACS span both sides of the state line.
The community has recognized our organization as being outstanding
for providing quality, dedicated, enthusiastic workers in projects that
help those in need. Thousands of volunteer hours are provided each
year by members, and SACS was presented with the 2002 Outstanding
Achievement Award by the Jackson County Board of Services. In
2004, SACS received the Silent Service Award from Cancer Action, Inc.,
and in 2005, the Rose Brooks Center presented SACS a Community
Achievement Award.
While we take our volunteering very seriously, working together also
provides volunteers with the
opportunity to meet other singles and form quality friendships. We
would like your help to continue
this successful volunteer effort in Kansas City and surrounding
areas.
