Why Us

HEATING AND COOLING WITH PURPOSE

Hometown Heroes is committed to the people of Raytown, Lee's Summit, and all of the Kansas City Metro. Our founder has been inside the industry for a while and expressed frustrations with how the people's needs were being taken care of. He thought there had to be a different way to make the decision as to who to hire for your heating and cooling needs.

We were founded on the the idea of being community leaders, thus we are Kansas City's only HVAC company that pledges to give back to those that need it most - Veterans suffering from homelessness or straining to find the resources they need. Pets struggling to find their forever home and, more importantly, their forever family. Families in need of diapers for their young children. And finally, your community at large; KC is home to some of the greatest downtowns in the Midwest and we want to see them rebuilt and filled with thriving small businesses again for all to enjoy.

Whether it be a repair, a replacement or installation of a system, or you're joining our Hero Maintenance Plan, our technicians will ask you one final question: "Where would you like a portion of this to go to? Vets, Pets, Kids, or your downtown community?"

VCP Village - KC, located at 89th and Troost in Kansas City, Missouri, is an innovative community of 49 tiny houses for Veterans experiencing homelessness. The homes range in size from 240 to 320 square feet, meet all local city code requirements, and connect to city utility services. Approximately 70% of the Village construction was performed by community volunteers. Many Veterans arrive at VCP Village with little more than the pain, uncertainty, and loneliness of life on the streets. A tiny house provides everything he or she needs to live with dignity and safety, new furniture, appliances, housewares, bedding, food, and utilities, free of charge. More importantly, VCP Village provides sanctuary and the emotional space needed for the Veteran and VCP's Veteran Support Services team to thoroughly address the underlying causes of his or her homelessness.

The purpose of KC Pet Project is to provide sheltering and animal services to the community of Kansas City, MO by placing pets into homes with families, enhancing public safety through animal control services, being a resource to people and pets in our community, reuniting lost pets with their owners, establishing pet retention programs, providing humane education opportunities, and enriching the lives of pets and people in Kansas City to build up and support a more safe and humane Kansas City. We are reimagining the role of animal services in our community.

HappyBottoms provides a monthly supply of 75 diapers or 50 training pants to children in need through more than 70 social service agency sites. Their distribution agencies provide healthcare, emergency assistance, education, childcare and case management services to families in need. Their partner model has a ripple effect on families by providing access to other services that will help lift them out of poverty. They continue their efforts to better serve the 21,000 children (2020 Census) living with diaper need in our metropolitan area. By taking a closer look at the community and families they serve, they improve their program to meet today’s needs.
