/in /by

May 15, 2024 – Pharmacy of Grace is thrilled to announce that we have been chosen as a recipient of the prestigious United Way Impact 100 grant. As an organization that is not even two years old yet, we are honored to be joining the respected local non-profits on this list of grant recipients. 

This recognition by United Way of Greater Kansas City reaffirms our commitment to providing better access to medication and improved overall health to under-resourced people in our community and marks a significant milestone in our journey towards creating a healthier, more resilient Greater Kansas City.

The Impact 100 grant program is a cornerstone initiative of United Way, designed to identify and invest in the most vital health and human service organizations making a difference in our region. United Way’s rigorous selection process involved the review of applications by a diverse panel of 100 community and business leaders, who evaluated organizations based on their demonstrated impact, outcomes, and fiscal responsibility. After thorough deliberation, Pharmacy of Grace emerged as one of the standout organizations poised to effect meaningful change in the Kansas City area.

At Pharmacy of Grace, our mission is clear: to ensure that every individual has access to the medications and health resources they need to thrive. Receiving the Impact 100 grant not only provides us with vital financial support but also signifies an endorsement of our vision and impact within the community. With this funding, we will be able to expand our reach, enhance our services, and make an even greater difference in the lives of those we serve.

We are grateful to United Way of Greater Kansas City for their belief in our mission. Together, we are united in our commitment to building a healthier, more equitable future for all residents of Kansas City.

Kickin’ It With The Chiefs

June 6th, 2023 – Pharmacy of Grace and Mercy and Truth Medical Missions teamed up with several other community organizations for Kickin’ it with the Chiefs! We wanted to help families get summer kicked off on the right foot with some gently used shoes, food, and lots of free health and wellness products and services. Our Development Director Ryann Galloway Tacha represented Pharmacy of Grace with several media interviews.

Giveaways included:
🌞 The Church of the Resurrection Mobile Food Pantry provided free food and MTMM had kids snack packs.

🌞 Pharmacy of Grace provided free over-the-counter medications.

😁 Free basic dental screenings and fluoride treatments for kids from Kurlbaum Dental 

🌞 Heart to Heart International offered free vaccines plus free hygiene kits and A1C tests

🌞 Wyandotte Angels gave out gently used shoes for kids and adults.

Thanks to our other guests:

Kansas Civic Engagement Table and KC Scholars for being a part of the fun.
These events with our community partners are a great way to make sure we’re helping people in many different ways. Many people told us they were grateful to get the free otc meds from us to help treat allergies or indigestion. One woman took advantage of the free A1C tests and discovered her blood sugar levels were dangerously high – so we made sure she’s aware of how Pharmacy of Grace can help her afford her medications and she can get her health back on track.
We are all stronger together and making a difference in peoples’ lives in ways big and small.
All four tv stations covered the event and Fox 4’s Kathy Quinn spent several hours out there with us doing live shots for the morning news.
