Each year KVC positively affects the lives of children, adults and families through its diverse continuum of services including in-home family support, foster care, adoption, behavioral healthcare, substance use treatment, and children’s mental health hospitals.
KVC aspires to be a catalyst for ending the national suicide epidemic and the opioid epidemic; for safely reducing the number of children in foster care nationally by 50 percent; and for transforming healthcare to achieve a truly integrated approach to treating all that ails the human spirit.

- Served and positively impacted 56,606 people’s lives
- Safely prevented 3,439 children from entering foster care by stabilizing and strengthening their families
- Helped 609 children safely reunite with their families after they experienced foster care
- Supported 4,634 children in foster care, cared for by relatives or foster families

KVC Hero Award Recipients:
The Murphy Family
Robb Murphy has always been compassionate about helping kids. In 1993, he brought his son Austin, a kindergartener at the time, to visit KVC. Austin brought a gift and wrote a letter for a child in our care. This became an annual tradition that has grown over the past 30 years and included siblings; Sage, Hunter and Gus. While their father supports all charities anonymously, the Murphy Family is allowing us to share their story, which we hope will inspire other families to create a culture of philanthropy starting at home. Learn more about why they support KVC here.
