Books sent home with kids
1 in 6 kids suffer from food insecurity in Kansas City, especially in the summer months.
Children who grow up in a home with 100 books, have a 90% probability of completing 9th grade, compared to 30% in bookless homes.
We believe our youth should have access to both.
Free or low-cost after-school and summer programs provide access to resources that lower dropout rates and narrow achievement gaps. We're on a mission to do both—from cradle to college.
This Giving Tuesday you can invest in the future of Kansas City youth by providing free meals and school supplies.
