The Hub provides vital resources of food, clothing, and hygiene through our Community Market, Clothing Closet, Shower Program and Community Garden Programs. Our Community Market averaged 102 households per week (up from 76 households per week in 2023) and served 26,820 individuals with food and household hygiene items (a 52.43% increase from the prior year). Additionally, the Clothing Closet provided clothing to 43 households per week in 2024 and 17,200 individuals. The Community Garden provided 600 lbs of fresh produce to the Community Market and was available 24/7 for neighbors to harvest fresh produce. We also had the first fruits from the orchard we planted in 2023. Our Little Free Library distributed over 500 books to individuals in the community as well. 108688 0 41810 The Hub supports Community Empowerment through sharing the resources of our space with community organizations, churches and entrepreneurs. The Hub shares space with four local non-profit organizations as well as provides space for two churches. The Hub is in the process of developing a Community Kitchen that will support local entrepreneurs in business development by allowing a certified space to prepare food. The Hub partners with the Argentine Betterment Corporation to lead monthly meetings for community nonprofit organizations. We have a 12+ nonprofits that serve our community and believe that we are better when we partner with each other and support each other's work. We also launched a Listening Project in the summer of 2024.

The future of community vitality depends on the investment in the next generation of community leaders. The After School Program runs 8 hrs/week from Tuesday - Thursday for 20 students. We served 50 students in 2024 (turn over due to graduations from elementary school and families moving out of the area as well as a partnership on Tuesdays and Thursdays with the teachers at the elementary school). Each student received 4 balanced snacks, 2 hours of reading, 1 hour of physical education, 1 hour of emotional support and leadership development, and 1 hour of tutoring per week. These components shape well rounded students and impact their families and classrooms beyond the program. 7140 0 0 A connected community is an essential component of a healthy and vital community. The Hub's Neighbors of Argentine Program connects neighbors of the Argentine community (zip codes 66103 and 66106) together through story sharing. Over 90 neighbors have shared their stories, gifts, and skills through this program and have been featured on The Hub's website and social media. Neighbors connecting to neighbors provides financial support as people can ask for help from the people around them as well as enables people to age in place. Further, Neighbors of Argentine breaks down barriers of language, economic class, race, ethnicity, nationality, citizenship status, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, family make up, and religious or faith tradition. The Hub also hosted in person events for neighbors to connect over a meal. We held 3 in-person events in 2024 for the community with over 200+ neighbors participating. 7140 0 0 528755 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 10 0 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 X Elizabeth Carter Ellis 9138314531 3730 Metropolitan Ave Kansas City KS 66106 Elizabeth C Ellis Executive Director 40 0 X 41267 0 46965 Dominique Jones Board Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Mike Aguirre Vice Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Jesi Lipp Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Rev Nicole Conard Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Brad McDonald Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Rev Jeff Prothro Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Tim Steele Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Paula Blevins Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Omar Fernandez Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Naomi Tolentino Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Joyce McCarty Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Tom Brady Ex Officio Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Hyun Jin Cho Ex Officio Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 41267 0 46965 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 570308 243160 570308 Use of Space 532000 41810 41810 0 0 0 0 0 0 41810 23 0 0 23 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 661 0 0 661 661 612802 41810 0 684 0 0 245805 245805 0 0 0 0 85222 61763 23459 0 0 0 0 0 61659 29324 26470 5865 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4761 2424 1890 447 0 0 0 0 3060 0 3060 0 8865 0 8865 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 18539 10384 8150 5 3453 3453 10767 64 10703 0 1462 0 1462 0 0 0 0 0 110196 72854 32995 4347 4352 2 3799 551 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24483 18362 4897 1224 20717 14848 4879 990 Program Supplies 72925 72925 0 0 Fundraising Costs 1153 0 0 1153 0 0 0 0 677419 528755 134082 14582 368855 133748 19559 24478 6700 4801 962961 34007 873982 928954 1269096 1091981 160091 30720 50 48453 0 160141 79173 X 1107955 1006586 1000 6222 1108955 1012808 1269096 1091981 X -64617 0 0 0 0 -31530 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 0 0 451908 1252083 570308 2274299 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 451908 1252083 570308 2274299 283987 1990312 0 0 4 35 23 62 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 524 661 1185 2275546 90190 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Credit Card Rewards RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 19960 19960 0 611450 25203 586247 0 308292 8657 299635 0 10530 147 10383 0 12729 0 12729 928954 0 0 X 612801 0 0 0 0 0 612801 0 1 1 612802 677419 0 0 0 0 0 677419 0 0 0 677419 Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Hub is a nonprofit corporation and has been recognized by the IRS as exempt from federal income taxes, except on unrelated income, under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
