Reaching Out to Kansas City

ATP has grown to serve 70,000 people annually and, in 2019, was recognized as the Best Charitable Organization in the Northland.

This Christmas Eve, our offering will directly support ATP’s mission, helping us make an even greater impact in the lives of our houseless neighbors.
David’s journey is a powerful testament to the life-changing impact of A Turning Point (ATP).
