:: Mission-Focused Month

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month

It's our mission all year long, but April gives us the opportunity to truly highlight the work we're doing and to engage our community as we advocate for healthy families and happy childhoods.


We're especially excited for you to join us for Blue Ribbon BINGO at Chicken N Pickle—North KC on Saturday, April 27th, from 10 am to 12 pm.

:: An Activity to Do Together

Spring Pot Painting

At our most recent staff meeting, we got creative and painted flower pots, planting seeds to symbolize our unique journeys.


All you need are a terra cotta pot, acrylic craft paint, paintbrushes, some potting soil, the seeds of your choice, and your imagination!


Here's to nurturing one another and ourselves!

We Love Our volunteers!

Thanks to everyone who showed up for Kansas City kids by volunteering with us last year! We're so excited to continue to grow those relationships as we create a better world for kids and families.
