Event Description:
Mark your calendars! On June 21st, genKC will be hosting their inaugural ImpactKC event! ImpactKC is a day for chamber members to join forces with colleagues from their workplaces to volunteer at various nonprofit organizations around the city. If you want help finding a volunteer opportunity, the Community Involvement Committee at genKC is here to help! Alternatively, If you or your business has a favorite organization, you’re welcome to volunteer there – the choice is yours. Whether you’ve got a few hours or a full day to spare, your participation fuels the engine of change in our community!
We have chosen six different nonprofits based around Kansas City to spotlight for ImpactKC. You and your coworkers can sign up to volunteer at any of these spots, and a genKC representative will reach out to register you with the organization. Here is a little about each organization we are highlighting:
Habitat for Humanity strives to provide low-income families with safe, affordable homes by building and rehabilitating houses. Habitat homeowners pay an affordable mortgage, receive financial education, and help build their homes alongside volunteers.
Harvesters mobilizes the power of our community to create equitable access to nutritious food and address the root causes and impact of hunger. Harvesters provides food and related household products to more than 760 nonprofit agencies and provides education programs on hunger and nutrition.
Operation Breakthrough’s mission is to provide a safe, loving, and educational environment for children in poverty and to empower their families through advocacy, emergency aid and education. They are a home away from home for over 400 children in Kansas City.
Junior Achievement is the nation’s largest organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their futures, and make smart academic and economic choices.
Cultivate Kansas City is a locally-grown nonprofit working to grow food, farms, and community in support of an equitable, sustainable and healthy local food system for all.
Wayside Waifs is Kansas City’s largest and most comprehensive no kill pet adoption campus and is committed to finding homes for all adoptable pets. We serve more than 27,000 pets and people every year through pet adoptions, youth education, canine training programs, and community outreach.
