KMBC cares for kids is asking viewers to make financial donations to help provide Thanksgiving meals for 1,000 families here at Operation Breakthrough and to help fill our food pantry. Last year our families felt so supported by the generosity of Kansas City and we are so honored to benefit again from this event! 

Our families want to thank you for helping them have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Operation Breakthrough surrounds 750 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!
