Who We Are

We are a branch of Community Health Alliance focused on providing food to people that are food insecure in the Kansas City area. Currently, we have two active projects. The first is a food pantry at Wyandotte High School that is a co-curricular program which provides food for both culinary education and for students to take home to their families. The second program we have running is a food pantry in the Internal Medicine and Pediatrics Clinic that supports food insecure patients at KUMC. We are excited about the potential impact these initiatives can have on our community, and we are constantly looking for ways to improve and expand our projects.

What We Do

We are a student lead agency that is trying to combat food insecurity in Wyandotte County by starting and operating sustainable food pantries in our community.
