Kansas City Compassionate (KCC) believes in the extraordinary strength of unity and the quiet power of compassion. Founded in 2019 by a group of community-driven individuals, KCC was born from a deep desire to support immigrants, grieving families, and those seeking connection in a new home. What began as a grassroots effort has grown into a trusted nonprofit that uplifts lives through emotional support, financial literacy, bereavement care, and community engagement.
We are proudly non-political and non-denominational, committed to serving everyone with empathy, respect, and inclusion. Our guiding philosophy, Umoja Ni Nguvu (Unity is Strength), reflects everything we stand for. Whether you’re navigating the loss of a loved one, transitioning to life in a new country, or looking for a place to belong, KCC is here to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Together, we are building a community where no one stands alone.
At KCC, our impact is best shared through the voices of those we've served. Here’s what some of our community members have to say about their experience with us:
After moving to Kansas City, I felt isolated until I found KCC. Their programs helped me connect with others and feel like I truly belong.
Losing my brother was one of the hardest moments of my life. KCC offered emotional support, financial help, and people who just understood.
From financial literacy workshops to student guidance, KCC delivers real solutions with care and dignity.
KCC doesn’t just talk about wellness; they create safe spaces for honest conversations and healing.
Thanks to KCC, my transition as a new immigrant was smooth. They connected me with resources I didn’t even know I needed.
