Organization Information

Mission Statement

Our mission is to help at-risk children and families reach their potential through education, counseling, and social services.

Description

Since 1870, Gillis has been dedicated to serving the needs of children and families of Kansas City. Gillis’ services have undergone many changes over the years. From our beginnings as a support service for families following the Civil War, to our years as an orphanage, to the current focus of assisting troubled children and their families to become healthy and self-sufficient, we have remained steadfast to our original mission of helping the "needy and distressed" of Kansas City.
