Kennedi Calling is a Colorado-based nonprofit that transforms lives and empowers communities by supporting underprivileged individuals with essential resources needed to rebuild their lives. Through comprehensive services including nutritious meals and grocery support, vocational training and academic assistance, housing resources, and healthcare access, the organization creates a compassionate community where everyone has access to tools for personal growth and empowerment. With a special focus on maternal health and economic stability, Kennedi Calling provides a true "village" for mothers, helping women obtain critical work resources and baby essentials while ensuring no mother has to choose between her career and her child's needs. The organization's impact extends beyond direct services to legislative advocacy, having played pivotal roles in championing transformative Colorado laws including HB23-1187 (alternative sentencing for pregnant and postpartum individuals), SB23-288 (Medicaid coverage for doula services), and SB21-193 (protection of pregnant people in the perinatal period), making it a driving force in reshaping reproductive justice and economic empowerment throughout the state.
