Juvenile Intake and Assessment needs clothing, hygiene products and bags for youth ages 10-18, according to a spokesman for the fundraiser. The center serves about 125 youth per month, and most are between 10 and 18 years old. Funds raised in the event on April 28 will be used to purchase shirts, pants, shorts, socks, undergarments, hygiene items and bags for youth to carry items.
The Old Quindaro Museum needs funds to help replace the roof. Many students in Wyandotte County have gone on field trips to the museum to explore African-American and cultural history in Wyandotte County.
Repairing the roof will increase the safety and accessibility of the museum, and it would preserve the artifacts and exhibits, according to a spokesman. Currently, exhibits have been moved off-site. Once the roof is repaired, those artifacts and exhibits may be returned to the museum. The estimated cost of the roof repairs is $7,000.
