Kansas City growers, farmers, and community gardens can apply for the 2026 PLANT Grant Program to support local food production, fresh food access, and regenerative agriculture. Last year, we awarded $200K to 26 projects strengthening our local food system and communities.
As we celebrate the #Powerof Parks, it's been amazing to see our parks and boulevards filled with joy, unity, and celebration! #ParkAndRecMonth reminds us parks are a space to play, connect, and improve well-being for our community.
