JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE, person with disabilities wants to be independent.
And just like everyone else, persons with disabilities need opportunities to learn and grow throughout adulthood.
As family members, guardians and friends of individuals served by Life Centers of Kansas, we actively pursue and support those activities that enhance the quality of life experienced by our loved ones with intellectual and developmental disabilities
As a nonprofit organization, we work with the clients and staff of Life Centers (a residential and day service provider in Johnson County KS) offering programs that encourage the development of positive group home experiences, create opportunities for involvement in community events, offer financial assistance and work opportunities through our Friends and Family food pantry, and recognize outstanding staff members for their efforts to improve the lives of our loved ones.
Our organization provides education and information for families of Life Center clients regarding health issues, financial planning, guardianship plans, and advocacy skills. We believe that families deserve care and support. Their influence is on-going and essential to the health and well-being of their special needs family member.
The Friends and Family organization is governed by a nine-member volunteer Board of Directors. All Directors are family members and/or guardians of a special needs adult receiving services from Life Centers of Kansas.

We always find ways to have a good time! Pre-COVID party at Martin City Melodrama, during COVID, we moved the fun to our drive-ways!
As part of our Home Liaison Program, the residents once a quarter enjoy a event or activity. This time all the residents came together to attend the Martin City Melodrama!
The COR Bell Choir came to our driveways to perform! Even in the cold! We were all bundled up enjoying the bells!

Residents assisting with Food Pantry
The Food Pantry helps the house managers provide healthy fresh produce and vegetables, by supplying many of the staples through our food pantry. They all teamed up to bag food pantry items for the Life Center Residential Homes. They are ready to come back to help again! |

Everyone deserves to have their basic needs met, and Christmas presents too!
Thanks to the support of the community, family and friends, even those residents without someone to buy them a gift will have something under the tree on Christmas morning.
Most of our residents don't ask for much, maybe a pair of socks, or a t-shirt, but no matter the gift, they are so excited!
