We look forward to working with the community as a whole to increase our presence in our neighborhoods. Our Mission is to empower the low to moderate income residents of HA and to assist in the uplifting of our children. We are asking to be included in a way that would prove successful in those endeavors that will be put in place as it relates to Stimulus Funds that are being earmarked to assist those within the low income guidelines.

We had a very enlightening conversation with Mayor Joe Reardon in April, also in attendance was Nathan Barnes.
The forum provided answers to questions as well as well deserved responses to the issues. Thank You to all in attendance.
Our plan is to have more ''Community Based'' conversations with those elected officials that would allow to have direct impact on our living environments as a whole. The purpose will be to improve the quality of life for those of us who live in and around Wyandotte County.

Peace to All,

Pamela D. McKnight,President, the UPC Board and Officers of KCKHA
