KMBC cares for kids!


Operation Breakthrough surrounds 700 of the city’s most vulnerable children and their families with opportunities – to learn, connect, be nurtured and prepare for success. The program runs cradle to career, helping little children become school-ready, helping school-agers stay on track and offering teens real-world experiences in digital electronics, graphic design and more. The average OB family lives on about $1,000 a month, so OB adds on-site health care, therapy, parenting classes and financial literacy. OB empowers people to breakthrough to a bright future! 

Operation Breakthrough is now in its 52nd year here in Kansas City. Your tax deductible gift will help us provide hands-on learning to prepare our children for success for many more years to come.
