Season of Giving 2021: Kansas City Center for Inclusion
December 28, 2021 | Leah Taylor | 1 min read
Here at Flatland, we want to offer a gentle reminder that the holidays are a season of giving, not just receiving. So our gift to you is a daily list of sometimes-obscure local charitable organizations that could use your help. From Dec. 27 to Dec. 31, we are providing brief descriptions of deserving charities and information about how you can contribute.
The mission of the Kansas City Center for Inclusion (KCCI) is to ensure that people that belong to the LGBTQIA+ community have a space where lives are enriched and feel safe. One of the many resources that KCCI offers is the Queer Voices book group, which has partnered with the Kansas City Public Library to provide books that cover all topics from sexual identities to racial identities and everything in between. Resources are open to all!
