2021 Goals
KVCAP’s primary goal has not changed in more than 55 years – to create sustainable solutions to poverty for individuals, families, and communities. We utilize a whole family approach, understanding that responding to the needs of all household members is the most effective way to break the cycle of poverty and ensure movement toward financial and social stability. KVCAP completes an in-depth Community Needs Assessment every three years. The results are the backbone of our strategic planning process, which includes individual/family level goals, community level goals, and agency/sustainability goals. In addition to providing a wide range of direct services, we partner with hundreds of other entities to address local needs through collaborative efforts and mutual respect.
Fundraising events/Opportunities
On October 2, 2020, KVCAP is hosting its 6th Annual Golf Tournament, renamed in memory of Mark K. Johnston in 2019. This fall you can experience Lakewood Golf Course in full foliage! Our tournament historically raised match dollars for our Explorer public buses, but due to Covid-19, we have shifted our focus to raise funds will that help people dealing with the pandemic. To become an event sponsor or to register a team, contact Andrea Pasco at andreap@ kvcap.org or visit kvcap.org.
