Upper Room KC

We love to see kiddos in our community doing such great work! Keep it up Questions with Kam!

If you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have a moral obligation to do something about it. John Lewis We are incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of Civil Rights giant, John Lewis. Throughout his life, John Lewis dedicated himself to the cause of freedom and justice, and in so doing, inspired generations that followed. He set an extraordinary example as a true American hero, and he will be missed greatly. Rest in peace, Congressman Lewis. https://n.pr/3jp5AKr

To assist in assuring that children in our community have access to healthy breakfast and lunch during the COVID-19 crisis, the Upper Room has opened up a grab-n-go meal site. Meals for children in your household ages 1 18, can be picked up at Hogan Preparatory Academy, 2803 E. 51st Street on the west side of the building (Chestnut Street). Beginning today, June 29th, the distribution site will be open weekly each Tuesday and Thursday through July from 11:00 am to 12:30 ...pm. Sites will only be distributing meals 2x per week and we will provide multiple days worth of meals for each child. Walk-up distribution available of pre-packaged meals. Meals are FREE for ALL children. Each child (18 years & younger) will receive one breakfast and one lunch for each day. Meals are for pick up only. They cannot be consumed on site. In order to maintain the health and safety of staff, volunteers and visitors, we ask that safety measures are in place by wearing protective face coverings and honoring social distancing guidelines by standing at least 6 feet from other persons
