“PRCKC provides a much needed service at an affordable cost. I brought in a stray female cat and am very happy to have her spayed. I found the service to be great from picking up the humane pet trap to picking up the cat after surgery. Thank you for providing this service. If needed I will certainly be a return customer.”

“Outstanding program! Although these people have disabilities, they have tons of talent in many different ways. Some people are intimated by people with disabilities as i was until I was blessed with the opportunity to really get to know Beth Hartley. I discovered something I didn't know or understand. They are PEOPLE and they have immense value to add to our understanding of diversity. They need us, to understand them and the joy returned to us cannot be put into words without experiencing personal interaction with them. Do not be afraid to love them.... They will love you in their own way.”
“Everyone was friendly and always had food snacks and drinks available, not a bad walk to or from the hospital. They had a movie room, a little play area off of the living room and dining room that kids can build with Legos on the Lego wall”

“Love volunteering, donating, and visiting this place. Staff are so helpful and friendly. When you commit your time and donating, not only is it rewarding but also, you're helping out the kids and those who are sick. They always need things here. Check their website for their wants and needs. I have donated some toiletries, travel size soap, shampoo, lotions etc. Sharing is caring. If you get a chance, you get to meet their mascot/pet dog. Very friendly.”
“I tell e.one about this place. They make having a pet affordable w the cost of shots less then half the price of a regular vet office. They are fast & friendly w a very effective way of processing their appointments w an easy to use website to schedule your appointment easily & they send out reminders every year when your pet is due for shots. They also have cat & dog food available for free for those who r in need as well as supplies like bowls, leashes, collars, cages even s.times.Great resource if u have pets!!”
“I saw a series of paintings from this art gallery at Leawood Library, then stopped by for coffee chat after my AQUA ZUMBA class at Matt Ross Rec center. Chief Exective Angi is friendly and welcoming. I don't know about art much, but this place makes me feel good to be there. InterUrban ArtHouse would be your new hang out place, for inspiration, for unique gift, for socializing! IG hey_maki_go”
“This is the best of both worlds or whatever Queen Hannah Montanna said! This is because not only is DO GOOD CO. an amazingly curated resale shop, it also is a non-profit. Does that mean I can tax write off my vintage Chanel?? Well, that question remains unanswered. However, the merit of DO GOOD CO. isn't in question because it always impresses. From its fantastic selection of name brand, in tip top shape, lightly used designer goods to the wide variety of unique and local gifts to surprise any hostess or birthday girl or bride to be...or heck just about anyone youre looking to impress. If you are looking for a store that'll make you beam ear to ear because not only are you being kind to the environment you are also simultaneously supporting children and dogs in need in the immediate kcmo metro area then, DO GOOD CO is for you. It's one of those specialty vintage shops that never feels pretentious but does feel exclusive, and I absolutely love that for the downtown KC area. It makes it easy to allow patrons to feel at home as well as making it a luxury shopping experience. I will continue to shop at DO GOOD CO and FEEL GOOD about doing it. Just recently, I was honored to be invited to attend a holiday party at DO GOOD CO. and every detail was well thought out and planned impeccably. I was so impressed by the catering as well as the great selection of vendors who brought flair to the festivities. Thank you for the opportunity of celebrated the season as well as the mission of this spectacle local non profit.”
“I recently stopped in Story Botique when I was in town from Omaha. It is by far the classiest thrift store I have ever been in. It is spotlessly clean, prices are easy to find, and staff are friendly but not pushy.Story Botique is a little hard to find if you aren't familiar with this strip mall. Head for the north end of the mall towards the Catholic school. It is on the backside.”
“Everyone is super nice and very helpful. We do online purchases for bigger orders and they are always perfect! Great organization, greater cause, will always support them when and where we can.”
“Humble little non-profit bicycle shop ran by volunteers. Good selection of used bikes, seemingly fixed up like new, for a flexible price. The staff/volunteers are were friendly and knowledgeable, and had me in and out with a nice Schwinn. Very cool concept.”
“Amazing, inclusive teacher! My husband and I enjoy taking dance classes together (they're all intro classes as we're not really dancers), and the intro to salsa teacher on 1/24/24 was one of the best teachers we've had. We look forward to learning more from Redux Society!”

“They were helpful and friendly. What I found unique and refreshing was how they tried to anticipate your needs and give you options. I highly recommend that veterans come to this location and register. Don't forget to bring a copy of your DD-214. This organization will also provide you with a box of food if you need it. They also have shelves filled with toiletries such as toothbrushes and toothpaste and many more things. Veterans Community offers many more services so give them a call or stop by.”
“Wonderful place to host or attend a meeting. Make sure you leave extra time to visit the beautiful gardens across the street from the conference center. Easy to schedule meetings, the staff are great, and there are a variety of meeting spaces so you can find something that works for your group.”
“Goodwill is a very dynamic place to work for with a lot of dynamic people who are very serious about their mission, community and employees. I grew up in the neighborhood they were in and had a relative who spent many years with them. All I can say is this is a business who really say what they mean and definitely do exactly what they say above and beyond.”
“This is a great place to take stuff to recycle from the house! They have a large variety of stuff to buy at deeply discounted prices. The exceptions were a couch that looked brand new that was $125 and a men's dresser for $650 and a women's dresser for $750. Otherwise, there were couches for $50, chairs for $40. They also had cabinets, washers and dryers, tables, bookcases, hutches, paint, garden stuff, tile, carpet remnants, plates, bowls, lights, doors, toilets, tools and many more things!!! Of course, you never know what they will have so you gotta stop in.”
“I love the inside of this place it is amazing. And considering that I'm in Westport alumni, and was part of the first graduating class for the Kauffman promise for education I loved it. The secretary was so nice she gave me background and showed me pictures and actually took me on a small tour.”

“Sunflower House is a Godsend. Things were going on that I didn’t know about and Sunflower House brought them to light. The inviting atmosphere and friendly professionals made for a positive experience. If I did one thing right, it was taking my child -then only 3 years old- to Sunflower House.”
“It would be nice if there were a sign or something. The entrance for shipping and receiving is on Prospect Ave but you have to follow the road going to the police station around to the left to find the docks. Other than that people are friendly etc.”
“It's a great place to serve. They do wonderful things in the community. They serve the homeless. They have a food pantry and clothing that's given out monthly and they give food from the harvesters. There's an outlet here for anyone who wants to serve God ❤️”
“Wonderful place with great after school programs and staff. I have enjoyed volunteering here. I encourage anyone interested to get involved so they can help shape young lives!”
“I love the doggy daycare at Pawsperity. My Cavalier cannot wait to get in the door when we arrive. The staff are all so wonderful and helpful. I like the way the daycare is set up with play areas and the ability to go potty in a designated area. Also they are never over crowded with dogs like some other facilities. I also like that it supports the grooming project to train people for careers as groomers”
“Charlie’s House is a very informative site to educate parents and homeowners on the potential household dangers that can harm young children. Call the staff and schedule a tour of the facility, Melissa Roach gives a great tour and offers visitors insights into safety. This tour is a must for Childcare facilities, and Emergency First Responders in order to share with the public.”
“Fantastic bike shop. The owners and employees are very knowledgeable, capable, and eager to get you on an affordable and suitable bicycle. I bought two bikes there for a very reasonable price. The bikes had been meticulously cleaned and refurbished. I'm beyond happy with them. As someone who's been using a bicycle to commute for two decades, I highly recommend this shop for all of your cycling needs.”
“Attended the National Junior Angus Show hosted here at the American Royal complex n 2022. The facility is well maintained and there are a lot of great options available for families who wanted something unique to do on the 4th of July.The facility offers plenty of space for vendors, lots of history for people who want to know more about what the future of ranching looks like, and it really is setup for anything you want to do in showing livestock. This is a great event location, and being able to attend NJAS was fantastic.”
“We brought a group out here to volunteer, and it was amazing. They did a great job talking with us about their mission, and it gave our students the ability to really invest in the work.”

“I highly recommend Special Olympics Kansas! Everyone involved is very knowledgeable and consistently works hard to build a trusting, fun and competitive atmosphere. They go above and beyond to ensure all athletes are getting the training and support they need to be successful.”
“I sponsored 2 children in India. The fact that your donation goes straight to the family that needs it makes Unbound unique.I am impressed with Unbound to the point that I commute RT 2 hours to volunteer each week.”
“We adopted our elder cat from Great Plains yesterday. What a wonderful organization! They care so much about their animals and take excellent care of them. Their adoption process is rigorous to ensure all adoptors are prepared emotionally and financially to care for a new pet and understand their medical and social needs. The staff is welcoming and very knowledgeable. Many volunteers help the staff care for the animals and give them much needed attention and stimulation. Their store has food and other pet care items available to purchase. It's a wonderful place to find your new family member!”
