Community Initiatives

A faith-based family medical practice

Founded by The Hope Center in 2009, Hope Family Care Center provides quality primary healthcare in Kansas City's east side. All patients are welcome, including the uninsured, insured, Medicaid, or Medicare.

We hope to partner with and empower all patients in their healthcare, which is exemplified by the provision of an affordable sliding scale fee for the uninsured.

HFCC is committed to providing culturally competent care, while continuing to develop a diverse board and staff. HFCC was recently designated as a National Health Service Corps approved site.

Community gardens are often known for their pleasing aesthetics and therapeutic properties. The Benton Community Garden is no exception. Brimming with sweet fruit, crisp vegetables and beautiful flowers - especially during peak seasons - this peaceful and attractive garden is intended to provide great blessing to the people of the community.

Raised planter beds have been placed in the garden’s center circle filled with native and climate adaptive plants that are low-maintenance and require little water once established.

For our neighbors personal plots within the garden a rainwater capture system, in addition to a 2500 gallon underground water tank and a lovely double-action hand pump have been provided for keeping their plants hydrated. Established in the spring of 2013, our prayer is that the Benton Community Garden might bless the community for generations to come.

Public Charter School

Founded by The Hope Center in 2011, Hope Leadership Academy is the only neighborhood elementary school in our community. Utilizing the best research techniques and currently serves up to 130 students.

As we continue to develop a healthy, hopeful and sustainable community, unique and inspirational spaces are necessary for bringing the community together as well as providing encouragement, equipment, and enrichment.

This church building, completed in 1924, would serve as the Family Life Event Center to host a number of family events; community meetings; church off-site trainings; business meetings and outreach programs to bring children, youth, and families together.

We are currently raising resources through a capital campaign for the remodeling of this phenomenal structure to, once again, meet the needs of the heart and the renewal of the mind.

The Hope Center KC stands as a beacon of transformation in Kansas City's east side, embodying the power of community and the promise of possibility.

The Hope Center KC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
