Ken Price’s Annual Drive Brings Hope to Aurora’s Families

Ken Price’s journey from homelessness to community advocate is one of resilience and generosity. Each year, he organizes a holiday drive to collect toys, toiletries, and other essentials for families in need. Hosted at Bureau Gravity, the initiative has grown in its impact, bringing together the Aurora community to support the Hesed House and its residents.

For Ken, the drive is about more than donations—it’s about uplifting others. “Helping the next person is what life is all about,” he says. His message of hope and compassion resonates deeply, especially during the holiday season.

This year’s expanded focus on toys ensures that children facing difficult circumstances can still experience the joy of the holidays. With plans to grow the effort in the coming years, Ken dreams of creating a space where families can shop for what they need at no cost—a reflection of his commitment to giving back.

Aurora is brighter because of people like Ken Price, whose dedication to community reminds us all of the power of kindness and unity.
