Help Front Porch

There are many ways you can join us in this effort to help the residents of Ivanhoe and surrounding neighborhoods in their continuous quest to return their entire community to the beautiful, livable area it was so many years ago:

• Contribute financially
• Volunteer
• In-kind contributions of materials and services
• Organize your coworkers, church friends or civic groups for a project

When you act to improve the lot of others–in ways large and small–you are affirming that hope thrives, nothing is insurmountable and that you are standing up for not only Ivanhoe, but also our entire Kansas City community.

You are invited you to join us in our mission to improve lives, build relationships and revitalize neighborhoods within Ivanhoe and surrounding communities. If you would like to learn more about ways you can add your energy, talent and resources to our efforts in the following Front Porch Alliance Programs, please contact us today.
