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.
