WE DID IT, KC!

2,000 backpacks packed. 2,000 students ready to take on a new school year!

We’re so grateful to every Impactpalooza volunteer who showed up and helped make a difference. Together, we filled 2,000 backpacks with new school supplies, helping students walk into the classroom feeling prepared, confident, and ready to learn.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who packed, volunteered, and showed up to make it happen, including KC Current players, Lo'eau LaBonta and Debinha. Thank you for showing up for Kansas City’s students and helping kick off a new school year with a little extra excitement!

Back-to-school shopping is getting harder for families like Angelia's. At 57, Angelia is raising her five grandchildren and often visits multiple stores to find supplies she can afford. After losing a long-time job and now working limited hours, she relies on nonprofit support to help meet her family’s needs.

“I don’t ever want to come short in their life.”

This back-to-school season, your support can help families make sure their kids have what they need to thrive. No amount is too small. Give now at https://buff.ly/VsI5WoQ
