Join Us in meeting essential needs for a thriving Kansas City
Boost KC (formerly known as Assistance League of Kansas City) operates eight philanthropic programs that serve a wide range of individuals in the greater Kansas City area, from infants to senior citizens. These programs are designed to address unmet needs within the community, offering support to those who are unable to provide for themselves or whose families are unable to meet their basic needs. Each program follows defined guidelines to ensure it is administered effectively, with the goal of alleviating the consequences of poverty and crisis for both children and adults in our community.
Building self esteem in children with new clothes
Comfort for kids in crisis
Enhancing in the lives of senior adults
Teaching kids to be safe
Reaching out and giving hope
Threads 2 Thrive is Expanding!
You can help us grow and provide more children in Kansas City schools with new clothing and shoes. Your generous support of our capital campaign helps to provide the space needed to serve more children. We believe that everyone deserves to have essential needs met to succeed.
We Believe
We are committed to providing essential unmet needs to individuals living without basic necessities, recognizing that by uplifting one person, we uplift entire communities. Our mission is to restore dignity, well-being, and self-worth through access to fundamental resources, fostering a stronger, more compassionate society for all.
When essential needs are met in the community, families will flourish
When we clothe a child, we give them confidence to succeed in school
When we inspire a young teen, we can change the trajectory of their lives
When we give adults the opportunity to earn a degree, it lifts the entire community
