As part of our ongoing commitment to the Kansas City community, Dental Depot is proud to partner with KMBC 9 Cares for Kids and Giving the Basics to support the 2025 campaign. This collaboration helps provide essential hygiene products and support services to families and children who need them most, especially during the school year and holiday season.
The KMBC 9 Cares for Kids initiative is a community-wide fundraising effort designed to connect local viewers and businesses with nonprofit organizations that support children and families across the Kansas City metro. The campaign has grown significantly since its launch, with community contributions helping nonprofits raise impactful support year after year.
Through this campaign, partner organizations like Giving the Basics receive vital resources to extend their mission and reach even more families in need.
Giving the Basics is a Kansas City-based nonprofit dedicated to closing the gap in access to essential hygiene products — items that many families often can’t afford and that are not covered by government assistance programs. Their mission is to improve health, hope, and dignity by procuring, fulfilling, and distributing basic hygiene products such as shampoo, soap, deodorant, toothpaste, and laundry items to individuals and families in need.
Giving the Basics partners with schools, shelters, pantries, and other community organizations to make these products accessible where they’re needed most, helping kids show up to school with confidence and dignity.
At Dental Depot, serving our community goes beyond dental care — it’s about supporting families and children in every possible way. By partnering with KMBC 9 Cares for Kids and Giving the Basics, we’re helping fuel access to essential hygiene products that make a real difference in everyday life. Our team is honored to stand alongside local supporters as part of this meaningful campaign.
We believe that access to basic hygiene supplies is not a luxury — it’s a fundamental part of health and well-being. This partnership aligns with our values and commitment to community impact.
There are several ways community members can get involved:
Donate directly to the KMBC 9 Cares for Kids campaign — every dollar helps support children and families.
Give to Giving the Basics — financial or product donations provide dignity and essential hygiene items to those in need.
Volunteer your time — individuals and groups can help sort, package, and distribute products that change lives. Learn more about volunteering here!
Your contribution — whether big or small — plays a role in strengthening our community and helping every child feel confident and supported.
