The Opus Group, a commercial real estate developer, recently worked with Hallmark to build its new distribution center. Part of this project included an effort to give back to the community and make it a better place to live, work, play, and raise a family. As a result of its collaboration with Hallmark, The Opus Foundation granted $40,000 to three Liberty-area nonprofits, including Rebuilding Together Kansas City.

“Because care for the community is not only a principle of our corporate responsibility, but also a value of Hallmark’s, that direction from the top enabled [us] to give back to Liberty in meaningful ways,” said Joe Downs, Opus Foundation Board Director.

Thank you to both the Opus Foundation and Hallmark for your commitment to our work!

Rebuilding Day is the flagship program of Rebuilding Together Kansas City. It’s a one-day project blitz that mobilizes hundreds of volunteers to complete critical repairs and safety modifications across the community. In 2023, we were able to fix 16 homes in a single day with the support of our generous partners and volunteers. We have a goal of 25 homes this year, but we need your support!

Will you join us? Choose a crew leader and get your group of volunteers registered. Site sponsors are also needed. Contact Scott Hickox today to get started on your path to becoming a [Re]builder! Learn more here.

On Saturday, April 27, over 320 attendees gathered at Heritage Hall in Liberty, MO in support of Rebuilding Together Kansas City’s annual fundraising gala. A record-breaking $450,000 was raised during the evening, a 120% increase over last year!

We are tremendously grateful to all who attended, donated, participated in the online auction, sponsored a table, and/or led the way as an event underwriter. Thank you for your commitment to our work.
