Rock the Block: 9/11 Day of Service
A Habitat for Humanity chapter is hosting an event on September 11 as a day of service and remembrance to honor 9/11’s first responders, veterans, their families and those who went into service because of what happened on that day 20 years ago. The chapter wishes to repair and modify the homes of veterans, first responders and their families, with the goal of helping keep them in place in their homes, preventing displacement and potential homelessness among those who have served our country.

More than 700 urban Kansas City children from infants to teenagers come to Operation Breakthrough each weekday for nutritious food, lively learning, health and dental care, therapy and TLC, while their parents work or attend school.
