Join JVS in celebration of our 70 years helping Kansas City be a place where all are welcomed, included and valued.
Support JVS' 70th Anniversary
Thank you for your support of Global Table and our celebration of 70 years of JVS helping Kansas City be a place where all are welcomed, included and valued. Due to the current situation regarding COVID-19 we are seeking adjusted ways to best celebrate the 70 years of JVS, and have postponed our Global Table fundraiser event for April 19th. Those communities we serve are the hardest hit and we appreciate your support for this continued work. We are working with our team to best determine ways to celebrate this JVS milestone.
