Heartland Auxiliary of ASSISTANCE LEAGUE of Kansas
City is a volunteer group of professional
women that provides school supplies, Christmas gifts, and emergency funds for
the special needs of foster children and Wards of the Court in Clay and Platte
Counties through OPERATION FOSTER CHILDREN.
Foster children have many needs. They have been
removed from their homes, often because of abuse or neglect. In the past we
have supplied assistance with camp tuitions, extra-curricular sports equipment
& fees, music lessons, prom clothes and other similar needs.
Heartland Auxiliary members raise the funds to
support their programs mainly through the Heartland Run.
Heartland Auxiliary members commit to a minimum of 30 hours of service
annually, and pledge financial
support as well as annual dues. Heartland Auxiliary has an open membership with emphasis on a yearly
membership drive in November. For information on becoming a member, contact Assistance League of Kansas City.
Heartland Auxiliary Receives Grant: Assistance
League of Kansas City Heartland Auxiliary has received a grant from the Irven
E. & NeVada P. Linscomb Foundation Fund, a supporting organization of the
Greater Kansas City Community Foundation. The grant will fund essential school
supplies including a functional backpack for foster children in Clay and Platte
counties.
