Will You Help Us Shower Local Schools with Dignity?

Teresa, the opportunity for you to make a direct impact is happening next week! In partnership with KMBC, we are launching our first annual Spring Showers for Dignity Drive.

From April 1st through April 30th, we are hosting a virtual drive with a goal of providing 250,000 essential hygiene items to our local school partners. To make this happen, we are rallying the community for support. Here's a snapshot:

• Local groups and businesses are competing to see who can donate the most items online

• KMBC 9 News will be asking their viewers to donate,



• YOU can donate items online HERE.

Thank You to Our Sponsors!

KC Mavericks Score Big for Dignity!

The KC Mavericks capped off a month-long partnership with Giving the Basics, their most successful yet, by volunteering to pack toothbrushes for local schools. Mavericks fans stepped up big, donating over 500 hygiene items and raising $1,650 online to back their favorite players. Goalie Victor Ostman stole the show, securing a win with 1,000+ sticks of deodorant for those in need.

"We’re so grateful to the Mavericks team for their dedication to strengthening Kansas City lives," says Teresa Hamilton. "From donations and volunteering to spotlighting the need for hygiene products, they’ve been game-changers. When the Mavericks take the stick, everyone wins—Go Mavericks!"
