Brewing Change Together
We’re back with another Brewing Change Together! Join us on Tuesday, October 7 from 8:30-10 a.m. for a dynamic and engaging conversation over a cup of local coffee. This time, we’re talking about adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and how our Foster Grandparent program works to help KC kids through difficult circumstances.
Hike for Reconciliation 2025
Join us for a one-of-a-kind event that brings Kansas Citians of all ages and backgrounds together to celebrate community, connection, and resilience.
Troost Avenue will come alive as we close the street in front of RS for a family-friendly block party bursting with energy, music, and fun. Families can enjoy face painting, games, and bounce house adventures, explore the Mobile Leadership & Arts Building (mLab) from Urban Neighborhood Initiative, and dance along with a live DJ. Guests will savor DELICIOUS food from Thelma’s Kitchen and enjoy hands-on activities designed for all ages!
For those seeking a deeper experience, the Hike for Reconciliation offers a self-led journey along the historic Troost Corridor, Troost Park, and the east side of Kansas City. Along the route, hikers will encounter reflection stations that highlight the lasting impacts of racial segregation, discrimination, and disinvestment, while also honoring the resilience and strength of our neighbors.

Winter Warmup
Looking for Connection in a Disconnected World?
Join us for the Winter Warmup Happy Hour on Thursday, February 27, from 4-6 p.m. at Reconciliation Services. In a time of division and isolation, we invite you to experience something different—the antidote to chaos and polarization: real connection with neighbors over great drinks (mocktail option available!), meaningful conversation, and poetry that makes you pause and reflect.
This is more than a happy hour—it’s a space to belong, to listen, to share, and to be part of something greater. Come warm up with us. We can’t wait to see you there!
