Join Us in our Mission – Forward, Together!
During our Community Forum, Jen Seyller, Governing Board Member and Chair of our Fundraising Council, highlighted three ways you can join us in our mission as we move forward, together in 2021! Here are steps you can take today and help us keep children safe, families healthy and communities strong:
Share Your Story with Us!
Our work helping children and families in our community started 150-years ago when 20 philanthropic women organized and came to together to address this need. Today, community partners like you, are an important part of not only our history, but in giving hope to children and families for a bright future. As part of our 150-year celebration, we want to hear from you. Share your story on how you became connected to our mission and learn about our proud history through our special Forward, Together! webpage.
Connect with Us!
We have a number of upcoming opportunities for you to engage with our mission. Pick the one (or three!) that most interests you.
- Cornerstones of Care Champions
Join the Cornerstones of Care Champions this Thursday, March 25, at 4:30 p.m., for a virtual happy hour and spring kick off! We’ll discuss the ways Cornerstones of Care is building on our 150 year legacy of supporting youth and families in the Kansas City-area and share some info about our new Champions-led fundraiser with Amigoni Winery (Sips & Sweets, May 7). No need to RSVP, just visit the zoom link Thursday at 4:30 to join us! Check out the Facebook event here. - Thyme for Kids Plant Sale
A sure sign of spring, is our annual Thyme for Kids Plant Sale. Shop our online sale from April 14-29 and stock up on plants, flowers and herbs for your home. You may pick up your order curbside for free or have your order delivered to your doorstep for an additional $20 donation. Proceeds from the sale support our Build Trybe program, a vocational and life skills program that empowers youth with employable skills in the culinary, building trades, horticulture and landscaping fields. - Volunteer with Us
Join our mission by becoming a volunteer! Become a mentor, help with campus beautification days, holiday gift drives or join one of our Board Committees/Councils. This spring and summer we plan to again allow limited in-person volunteer opportunities on our campuses in Kansas City as well.
