United Way Seasons of Giving: Spring Edition

United Way of Greater Kansas City believes when the community is generous, everyone wins. One way to fuel the work we do is by volunteering. Each year, thousands of Kansas Citians do so by giving time to hundreds of United Way supported organizations – performing a variety of tasks that support our mission to improve healthcare, enhance youth opportunities, foster financial security and create community resiliency so that all have the ability to thrive.

We are excited to host our Seasons of Giving in celebration of National Volunteer Week, because while volunteering is important to support organizations during traditional holiday seasons, it is vital all year long. We have partnered with several of our Impact 100 and Nonprofit Catalyst Grantee organizations to provide Seasons of Giving: Spring Edition. Throughout the week, we have selected opportunities for community members to get involved in making an impact.

These events are open to all - United Way supporters, companies and any individual in the community who would like to give their time.
