Become an Everyday Hero Today!
At KVC, we have the honor of working with Everyday Heroes.
We realize it takes a special calling to become a foster parent, to adopt a child, or to care for a child with mental health challenges. Nevertheless, many of us would still like to reach out to these children and the families who step forward to care for them.
You can be an Everyday Hero, too. KVC’s Everyday Heroes monthly giving program supports children and families by increasing available resources and services. This could be anything from piano lessons for a grade-schooler, to board games and books for children in residential treatment at our psychiatric hospitals, to special medical equipment. The money will be used for mental health counseling, adoption services, tutoring, summer camp, after-school activities, orthodontic care and so much more.
When you become an Everyday Hero, you will be giving your love, support and care to children and families. Enrollment is simple. Just go to http://everydayheroes.kvc.org or call 913.322.4941 for more information.
