Literacy Program: One of the largest programs of the USC is our literacy program. This program is designed to address the book deficit and literacy gaps present in Wyandotte County. Research indicates that there are six (6) students for every one book title in KCK, Wyandotte County. As opposed to six (6) book titles per student in more affluent districts. The USC was able to address this gap by giving away over 13,000 books to elementary and pre-k school students in Wyandotte County.

Free Food Store- The USC held a weekly free food store for the community. The store is stocked with shelves of shelf stable foods, fresh produce, refrigerators and freezers of dairy and meat products, and more. Unlike a traditional food pantry where individuals are told what to take, our clients come in and shop from the shelves and refrigerators choosing what they think their family needs. Our staff and volunteers then carry their bags/boxes and help load them for the customers or transport them home if they are without a vehicle. The store has served over 2,000 individuals since it started.
