KC Cares!

Last weekend, Ella’s Hope for Autism asked several small local businesses to help raise funds for individuals living with Autism and Promote KC and Ella’s Hope would like to say a big “THANKS!” to those businesses!

Chicken-N-Pickle

Chicken-N-Pickle, one of the newest family-friendly hotspots in #KC held the dine-to-donate fundraiser and we would like to give them a huge thank you for being the hostess with the most-est! Fans and friends noshed on chicken and waffles, fried chicken, avocado toast (to name a few) and cheered on the MU Tigers and KS Wildcats! CNP gave Ella’s Hope 10% of all sales from 11-2 and made a huge impact on the lives of people living with autism! Such a great way to #givelocal!
