For 35 years, Reconciliation Services has been working to turn Troost Avenue from a dividing line into a gathering place where the very best of Kansas City’s culture is on display, helping people in need. But the nonprofit needed some help of its own with its building at 3101 Troost Ave. in Kansas City. The 100-year-old building was falling apart and in need of serious repair and renovation. The organization was forced to move out and is set-up at 1006 Linwood Blvd. It started the “Reveal Strength Capital Campaign” to raise $14.9 million to renovate the Troost building it has called home since 1987. Renovation plans include construction of a rooftop garden that can be used for group therapy services during the day and also can be part of its fourth-floor event center that offers workshops on racial and economic reconciliation and community-building events. Plans also include relaunching Thelma’s Kitchen, a donate-what-you-can restaurant that also operates a box lunch program; it will have a new commercial kitchen to use in the basement.
