Kanza Mental Health Hiawatha

Goal: $10,000.00

Specific Need

The Kanza Mental Health Foundation is raising funds for a fun painting project at our Community Services building (the old Hiawatha Elks Lodge). With spring upon us, we want to freshen up our old building with a new coat of paint in the interior offices and spaces for everyone to enjoy. Your funds will go to a Hiawatha local painter to complete the work. Our community services staff members and clients will appreciate the fresh update!

We thank all supporters in our Hiawatha community who help Kanza meet its service mission and deliver much-needed mental health and substance use services to adults, youth, and families.

Sincerely,

Jackie Feathers, Kanza CEO
