WHY ELIMINATING HUNGER FEED HOPE
Help Eliminate Food Insecurity
Find fresh, nutritious food through mobile pantries, indoor pantries, and snack programs for kids across the metro. These programs help connect neighbors and families with reliable food support throughout the year.
Community Gardens
Grow alongside neighbors in Y community gardens, then share your harvest to support families and local food pantries. These gardens also build sustainable growing skills and strengthen community connections. For more information, contact Platte County Community Center South at 816.505.2622.
Urban Gardens
Support the North Kansas City YMCA Urban Farm, a 0.25-acre growing space with raised beds, orchard trees, and a tunnel greenhouse that provides fresh, organic produce for neighbors in need. Since its first harvest in Fall 2020, the farm has created more ways for volunteers, families, and partners to help nourish the community. For more information on how you can get involved, call 816.300.0531 or email NKC@KansasCityYMCA.org.
DONATE MAKE A DONATION
Every gift to the Y stays right here in Kansas City, helping neighbors access swim lessons, safe spaces for kids, and programs that strengthen healthy living for all. When you give, you open the door for everyone to play, grow, and belong, no matter their circumstances.
