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.

Everyone deserves a present at Christmas.
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! The gift tree shown is from the gifts donated from an Angel Tree at Melange Dance Studio. |
