CAMPAIGN GOAL
WHY WE MUST BUILD TOGETHER
Maybe you’re unsure what to do about these divisions, or how to interact with people who are different.
When racial, economic, and cultural divides keep us apart, we can live in the same city without knowing one another’s struggles—or seeing how we could help.
Needs go unnoticed. Trust is harder to build. People who could serve together remain strangers.
Unite KC creates opportunities to cross those divides, build relationships, and put love for our neighbors into action.
Your gift to United We Build helps expand that work and sustain the connections a flourishing Kansas City needs.
A flourishing city begins when we see our neighbors—and show up for them.
Unite KC is a collaborative
effort committed to
unite people,
unite neighborhoods,
and unite Kansas City.
WHO WE ARE
Born out of the conviction to fight evil with good, Unite KC focuses on action that transforms hearts, unites neighborhoods, and brings healing across the divides that hold us back — including racial healing.
