Flint Hills works to reduce poverty by building skills and relationships that strengthen families and individuals. Our vision is to alleviate generational poverty in our community. Thrive! operates very differently from other nonprofits. We utilize a long-term “walk with me” approach that pairs individuals living in financial poverty with community volunteers who want to help fight the stressors of poverty. Since the program’s inception in 2015, we have helped 25 families build their resources and move from surviving to thriving.
