Welcome to Reconciliation Services — We're Glad You're Here.

Reconciliation Services (RS) is a nonprofit community organization rooted at 3101 Troost Ave in Kansas City. We operate Thelma's Kitchen — a community dining space and catering program — and REVEAL Works, a workforce development cohort that trains and employs people right here in our building. Alongside our REVEAL Social and Mental Health Services program, and the Foster Grandparent Program, our mission is reconciliation across the lines that divide us: race, class, and generation.

To address the root causes and symptoms of poverty and trauma in our City, Reconciliation Services engages with individuals to:

1) Promote dignity by increasing personal well-being

2) Foster healthy community by transforming dividing lines into gathering places

3) Help people advocate for themselves, their families, and their neighbors. 

RS has served alongside our neighbors in the urban core of Kansas City, MO, for 30+ years. Desiring to accept the challenge to “love thy neighbor,” we approach each person with dignity and love, seeing them as made in the image of God. Our programs strategically address community needs for affordable food access, safe environments to gather to combat social isolation and build positive community connections, job training and educational support, and increased access to social and mental health services that lead to improved health and self-sufficiency.

Our Guiding Principles as an organization are:
DIGNITY
each person is worthy of love and respect

COMMUNITY
we are interconnected and created to live in relationship with one another

ADVOCACY
is our response to the call to walk with others on their journey
