KANSAS CITY, MO (December 9, 2019) – The latest community event in a busy offseason for the Kansas City Royals and Royals Charities will take place on tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon at the Della Lamb Community Services “Operation Santa Claus.”

The agency’s annual holiday shopping event started last Friday and will continue Tuesday at the Della Lamb Mabee Center, located at 406 Woodland Ave., Kansas City, Mo. 64106.
From 12:45 p.m. to 1:45 p.m., outfielder Bubba Starling and pitcher Ian Kennedy will join Royals associates to package and distribute gifts. Royals Senior Vice President of Business Operations Kevin Uhlich will also appear.

Della Lamb Community Services serves several hundred low-income Kansas City families with all items needed to celebrate the holidays.
