Our goal for the Summer Reading Program 2012 is to have 2,000 books donated to the Upper Room! We already have a great start of 544 books donated by a couple of high school boys, who hosted a Book Drive at their school! If you are interested in hosting a book drive, or curious about donations, please contact Mallory Dahmer at 816-363-3819.

The Upper Room was featured on Channel 41 Action News for new efforts in the city. The news station interviewed Jerry McEvoy for the evening news on February 7th. Watch the news video or read the article here.

We are launching a new program this week called the Mentor Program! It is similar to tutoring, but with a longer commitment and more of an impact. Check it out on our “Become a Mentor” page.
