Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Work hand in hand with families and individuals in our northeast KCMO community to address their physical, educational and spiritual needs so as to empower them to break the cycle of poverty and live a purposeful life.

  • Childrens education - for after school tutoring, students are transported from school to GUCM and afterwards are driven home. Meals and various acctivities prepare the students for highly structured sessions. Learning plans and graduated reading packets/books provide continuity and help each student improve reading skills. Math skills and homework also receive attention by college-student tutors and volunteer professional educators. The early childhood center provides developmentally appropriate opportunities to enhance the academic, social interaction, emotional and physical well-being of young children to reach their maximum potential, in an intentionally planned environment that fosters a sense of community and a life-long love of learning. In 2020, the summer kids virtual learning program provided 5 weeks of free online learning, exciting activities and virtual arts and crafts.

    Expenses $331,888

  • Emergency assistance - food pantry, clothing closet and community meals. Our food pantry is one of the oldest in Kansas City. It is open from 10am to 2pm, four days per week. Two clothes closets are well organized, neatly stocked with thousands of seasonal clothing items. Community meals are provided for Thusday dinner and lunches on Saturday and Sunday. Holidays are special with 300 needy families choosing food for cooking their own Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. Parents can select from Christmas toys, new clothing and other gifts, including baby bundles and blankets hygiene items are also provided to the homeless.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
