It's April 17th, this is Kansas News Today, driven by AI. The Park Hill Clothing Center in Kansas City is packing up its current spot. The school district PTA plans to demolish Gernerhouse, its home for years, back in 2028. Its free clothes for district students serving over 1,000 kids this school year alone. The house is a money pit to maintain, plus it's got zero accessibility with stairs on every one of its four levels. The blocks volunteers from reaching key areas like the basement, folks who've leaned on it, swear by the impact. Single parents snag prom dresses they couldn't otherwise afford, volunteers beat depression through service and students build friendships while, grabbing outfits that boost their confidence. A search team is on the hunt for a fresh location to handle the rising demand. It's not shutting down, just relocating to something better suited. They're running a public survey for location ideas right now, and donations are flowing in online or by check to keep the momentum.

This spot's too vital to fade away.
