JEFFERSON CITY - A drive-thru canned food drive was hosted on Monday to honor a community leader who passed away from COVID-19 in November.
Kevin Kohler was a community leader in Jefferson City. He was a husband, a father, a Pastor at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, executive director of Council for Drug Free Youth (CDFY), a basketball coach, and a teacher.Â
Before his passing in November, Kohler set out to try and organize a food drive to help the community. To honor him, people from the organizations he was involved in rallied together to execute his plan. He never got to execute his plans, family friend Adrienne Rost said. So, I think it s great that it was his idea to start with and he kind of planted the seed and then now it s on the community to carry it out in his memory.
