Families First
Children and teens belong with their own families whenever possible. KVC works to safely reunify hundreds of families each year by providing parenting skills training, therapy and other support.
Caring People Needed
On any given day, KVC Kansas provides out-of-home care for thousands of children and teens. Relatives, non-related kin like teachers and neighbors, and foster parents are all critical to providing temporary care for these children and teens. See how you can make a difference as a foster parent.

The Gala
November 21, 2014
The Firestone Building
(2001 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, MO)
The Gala is an upscale party in mid-November that
combines gourmet food and drinks, live cooking and artist demonstrations, and unique auction and raffle opportunities to raise funds to enhance the lives of children in foster care 
and the families that support them. The 2013 KVC Gala featured Chef Andrew Sloan from Room 39, bartender Travis Stewart from The Kill Devil Club, local fine artist Allan Chow, the band Atlantic Express, and other local celebrities. Our 2014 Gala will create new excitement as we have outgrown Studio Dan Meiners and will be moving to the historic Firestone Building, chosen based on feedback from Gala 
partygoers.
