This is probably the #1 question we're getting about Troost United Fest: "Wait...it's free? Really?!"

And the answer is always the same: YES!

The reason behind that answer is simple: this community deserves to be celebrated, and cost shouldn't be a barrier to enjoying safe, joyful, collective fun with your neighbors — especially in a part of Kansas City that's too often overlooked. ❤️

Feel too good to be true? We promise it isn't.

Now, if you REALLY want to spend some money, you certainly can. 😉 You can make an optional donation when you register (and snag some awesome TUF swag!), grab some extra food from Thelma's Kitchen (every attendee gets a FREE bowl of chili!), or purchase extra raffle tickets if there's a prize you've got your eye on. 👀

Otherwise? Just come and enjoy.

Join us Saturday, November 7, from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. for an incredibly joyful day of live music, food, games, activities and family-friendly fun at 31st & Troost — all completely FREE to attend.

Thelma’s Kitchen is entering a new chapter. ❤️

Effective today, September 2, Thelma’s Kitchen’s café and catering services are temporarily closed as we take time to thoughtfully consider what comes next.

While our doors may be closed for a season, our commitment to feeding our neighbors continues. Reconciliation Services will continue providing meals to our clients throughout this transition, just as we have served our community for nearly 40 years.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has shared a meal with us, ordered catering, volunteered, worked alongside us, or otherwise been part of the Thelma’s Kitchen community. What makes Thelma’s special has always been about so much more than food — it’s about the people gathered around the table.

This isn’t goodbye. We’re taking time to reflect, listen and imagine what the next chapter of Thelma’s Kitchen can be, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. ❤️

Happy National Senior Citizens Day! 💛

Today, we’re celebrating the incredible seniors who bring their time, care, patience, and wisdom to RS’s Foster Grandparent Program.

Our Foster Grandparents have so much to give — and each week, they share it with students across Kansas City. Through encouragement, mentorship, a listening ear, and a steady presence, they help young people learn and grow while building meaningful connections across generations.

We’re so grateful for the wisdom and life experience our Foster Grandparents bring into classrooms, and for the countless ways they continue to make our community stronger.

To all of our Foster Grandparents: thank you for showing KC students just how much we can learn from one another. 💛

A partnership that makes a difference in so many ways. 💛

Earlier this week, we were grateful to welcome a volunteer group from Spire to Reconciliation Services! Their team spent the day serving alongside us at Thelma’s Kitchen, helping us provide warm meals and hospitality to our neighbors.

But Spire’s support of RS extends far beyond a single day of service. From generous grant funding that strengthens our work to the DollarHelp program, which helps neighbors struggling to pay their gas bills, Spire continues to show up for our community in meaningful, tangible ways.

We’re incredibly grateful for partners who invest their time, resources, and hearts into this work. Thank you, Spire, for standing alongside RS and the neighbors we serve! 💛
