Growing Together from the Start
The journey started in 2019 with a special project called Let’s Grow Together – Growing with Grace. Leaders from various civic and community groups joined forces to support the Center of Grace—and in doing so, discovered something remarkable. By working as one team, they could make a greater impact than any group could achieve alone.
That experience sparked a mission.
Grow Together Olathe began with a simple but powerful idea—create a central hub where residents could find support, get involved, and connect with groups making a difference.
From that idea, Grow Together Olathe was born—part resource directory, part connector, and part catalyst for kindness.
Today, we continue to grow with new programs like Celebration Boxes and Project North Pole, helping Olathe families feel seen, supported, and celebrated.red resources, talents, and volunteers!
We’re proud of where we started—and even more excited about where we’re going. Together, we grow.
