Kansas City, MO (Dec. 22, 2023)<\/b> \u2013 <\/span>Resurrection<\/span><\/a>, a United Methodist Church, with 23,000 members across six locations in the Kansas City metropolitan area,<\/span> recently announced that <\/span>Swope Health<\/span><\/a> would be one of the recipients of their 2023 Candlelight Christmas Eve Offering.

Since 2009, Resurrection has given away nearly $19 million through their annual tradition of donating the entire Candlelight Christmas Eve Offering to fund Kansas City-based projects and global initiatives. Resurrection intentionally selects organizations and programs that are purposed to transform the lives of children and families.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Through its mobile dental services program, the Swope Health mobile dental unit team serves more than 2,500 children annually in collaboration with 85 Kansas and Missouri organizations. Purchasing a second dental mobile unit will open capacity for more children to be served each year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership reflects an intersection of mission and vision,\u201d said Jeron Ravin, JD, President and CEO of Swope Health. \u201cResurrection has a vision to close opportunity gaps and provide a future with hope for all children, which perfectly complements our mission to provide accessible, comprehensive, quality care to all\u2014particularly, to those in marginalized and underserved communities. We are incredibly grateful to each person who gave an offering at this service, as well as to the Resurrection Church leadership team for supporting our work and investing in our community.\u201d <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Reverend Adam Hamilton, Senior Pastor of Resurrection, believes the timing is perfect to consider the impact that giving can have on those in need.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the Christmas season, as we celebrate the birth of Christ, there is perhaps no better way to honor the Spirit of the season than by giving a gift to benefit these children,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are excited to partner with Swope Health to provide dental care for thousands of kids in Kansas City.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
