Seasons of Giving: Spring Edition

April 22 @ 8:00 am – April 26 @ 5:00 pm

United Way of Greater Kansas City is excited to host Seasons of Giving in celebration of National Volunteer Week, because while volunteering is important to support organizations during traditional holiday seasons, it is vital all year long. We have partnered with several of our Impact 100 and Nonprofit Catalyst Grantee organizations to provide Seasons of Giving: Spring Edition. Throughout the week, we have selected opportunities for community members to get involved in making an impact.
