About Us
Serving caregivers in Kansas City since 2018.
SANDWICHED Family Caregivers of KC is a 501c3 nonprofit that was founded in 2018 for people in Kansas City who are caring for parents, grandparents, spouses, parents, siblings, and anyone they consider family.
Whether you:
- have a child or adult with a disability, special needs, or medical issues in your home,
- have kids AND are caring for your own parents,
- are a sibling taking care of your own family AND your folks or a brother or sister with a disability, or
- are single trying to balance your life/career AND your caregiving responsibilities,
We can relate.
We know what it feels like to be smushed into situations so big we’re not even sure how to take the first bite.
