At United Way of Greater Kansas City, we believe in the collective power of our community coming together to make a positive difference. CommUNITY Fest (a reimagined Day of Caring) will harness the power of volunteers to learn, serve and celebrate impact in our community.



Join us for an evening of networking and discussion centered around a self-guided simulation reflecting the issues our community is facing. The event will culminate with a panel of community leaders reflecting on the solutions organizations are implementing every day to make change.
