1K for KC
The financial impact of COVID-19 has left many Kansas City families struggling to make ends meet. Having to choose between buying groceries and paying rent means that some are facing the very real threat of homelessness this holiday season.
As REALTORS® we can make a difference!
This is why we have joined the Heart of KC Foundation in supporting its 1K For KC initiative, and we are asking all our REALTOR® members and firms to get involved and help our local families and neighbors.
The average rent payment in Kansas City is one thousand dollars. The goal of 1K for KC is to help individuals and families financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the Kansas City Metro region to have their rent or mortgage paid up to 1k per month for three months starting in November of 2020.
KCRAR has kicked off by donating $30,000 to the cause, and we’re challenging our members to come together and match that donation to reach our goal of $60,000, which will help 20 families stay home for the holidays.
Your donation today will go directly to the rent and mortgage expenses of those in need to help keep families in their homes for the holidays. $3K will provide assistance to one family from November through January.
Every donation, small or big, will make an impact in our community.
***NOTE: Please list KCRAR as your “organization” on the donation form so we can track our goal!***
