💗 Happy Father’s Day to these dads in our Healthy Start program … and dads everywhere! Congrats to these 5 dads for winning our Father’s Day contest where their families shared such sentiments as: “My dad is the best because he makes sure we have all that we need. He plays with us, loves us and protects us!” – Lewis family 💗

The Emergency Rental Assistance Program can help families who rent their homes get caught up on past due rent and utility bills. We compiled a program overview for our Healthy Start families, but anyone can access it and benefit from the program … so please help us spread the word!

Thanks to the United Way of Greater Kansas City for working with local organizations to implement the Emergency Rental Assistance Program. Also, a big thank you to these orgs for providing assistance: Economic Opportunity Foundation, Journey to New Life, Metro Lutheran Ministry, Greater KC Housing Information Center, Guadalupe Centers, SAVE and the Community Assistance Council.

We’re #StrongerTogether!

We continue to bring COVID vaccine clinics to communities that need them most! Here, the Morales family receives their 2nd dose of the Pfizer vaccine. (Their toddler wanted a matching band-aid and did not receive the vaccine.) Thanks to Walgreens, El Centro Inc. and Iglesia Misionera El Verbo de Dios for partnering with us to make this clinic possible!
