These proven organizations are joining forces to provide 360-degree support for families in Northeast Wichita, ensuring access to safe housing, nutritious food, education and life-skills development. The Kansas Health Foundation will maximize the impact of every dollar by providing visibility to the impact of the project and the power of each gift.

 

When communities gather with purpose, extraordinary things happen. Thank you to the event sponsors, customers, partners, community members and employees who contributed their time, resources and passion for going “The Extra Mile" for Kansas youth.
