Let Lawmakers Know Your Story
Recently, the federal government has made numerous funding cuts to several programs and services. While these changes may not always make headlines, they have a big impact on Kansas children and families, making it harder to get the services and supports they need. We are asking for help to make the impact of these cuts clear to our state legislators.
