The Starfish Project Foundation Mission
The Starfish Project Foundation is a fully qualified 501(c)3 founded in Olathe, KS, in 2014 with the intent of connecting individuals, families and local nonprofits with needed resources. We are needs based organization and our community dictates what those needs. Our mission is to provide a safe central point where the community can come together to inspire, empower, and serve their community, while preserving life sustaining resources from our city’s landfills.
Our tag line is: Connecting Lives, Resources and Acts of Kindness.
Our most asked question: what do you do?
We are very proud to say what makes us different, is the fact we don’t work with just one kind of person or problem, we go after the daily needs in our community. If someone is in need, we do what we can to either help them directly or connect them to organizations that have what they need. We also strive to help families and other organizations obtain the resources they need. It is all about partnerships and sharing resources. In 2014, we began picking up donations, finding those in need of the items and dropping them off. We helped to fill several house holds of those starting over. Today we have a Community Center in Olathe, that we call The Beach. We currently house programs that include volunteering for all ages and abilities, assisting the homeless and at risk, being a host agency for SER, partnering with Johnson County in their IRIS program, an approved social work practicum site for KU and the University of Phoenix, assisting the outreach program for the Olathe School District, Raleen’s Kids, non-profit incubator and continue to expand according to the ongoing needs of the community. We are continually looking for additional partners in our community and the KC Metro. Together We Are Making a Difference!
