Kirksville's First Baptist Church Donates to CAPNEMO's First Day, Fresh Start Program

We’re excited to share a generous $1,000 donation to CAPNEMO’s First Day, Fresh Start program from Kirksville's First Baptist Church! This community-funded initiative ensures children facing barriers can choose a brand-new outfit and shoes to wear proudly on their first day of school.

Since starting in 2023 with 42 kids across our five-county service area, the program has tripled in size during 2024 - showing the real need here in Northeast Missouri. CAPNEMO is dedicated to making sure every child begins the school year feeling confident and ready to succeed.

100% of all funds donated go directly toward providing children with their new school outfit and shoes. We’re incredibly grateful to the congregation of Kirksville’s First Baptist Church - thank you for your support!
