In response to the devastation of WWII, members of the Kansas City Jewish community rallied support for and welcomed Jewish displaced persons in search of a new life. Today, JVS continues to honor the commitment of our founders and upholds the Jewish value to heal the world by welcoming all refugees and immigrants to our community.
