Thank you for the good you've done in our community
Community Days is all about recognizing the good in our community. We've been highlighting a different organization on the 9th and 29th of each month and sharing the positive impact they've been making in our neighborhoods. From Olathe to Kansas City, these organizations are making a difference. 9/29, is a special day as we take another look at these organizations. It's also a day to say, "THANK YOU Kansas City!" Thank you for stepping up in a big way to support Community Days and keep the good going. None of it is possible without you. Since launching last year, more than $200,000 has been donated and 600 new volunteers have signed up to donate their time. Take a look at these Community Days organizations and the impact they are making. There is still time to get involved. Click on each organization to learn more.
