REAP Cares for Our Families

RAYTOWN REAP HAS BEEN
SERVING FAMILIES FOR OVER 25 YEARS!

A Big Thank You to Hy-Vee

IT’S A GREAT FEELING FOR REAP WHEN WE CAN PROVIDE MEALS TO THOSE IN NEED!

Who We Are

We assist families in the Raytown C-2 School District boundaries who are struggling to make ends meet. Whether it’s a single mother supporting her young children on her minimum wage job; the grandmother raising two teenage grandsons on solely her Social Security pension; or the man who injured himself at work, losing insurance and an income without a way to pay rent and utilities for his family.

Our Mission

To consistently deliver our emergency services; making the clients dignity, self esteem and stabilization a top priority. We set out to help the Raytown Community by providing assistance with food, utilities, and rent.

We will utilize the Amazon Wishlist process as we did last year, so please be prepared. There will be a $100 limit for each child so be mindful when adding items to your wishlist. REMEMBER, THE WISHLIST DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL RECEIVE EVERY ITEM ON THE LIST. The wishlist gives us an idea of what your child may like.
