Senate honors longtime Kansas City advocate Alice Kitchen with memorial resolution
Summary
The Missouri Senate read and ordered printed a resolution honoring Alice Kitchen for decades of service to children's health, supportive housing and local human‑rights work; the resolution will be printed in the journal.
A memorial resolution honoring Alice Kitchen was presented on the Senate floor and ordered printed in the journal. The sponsor noted Kitchen’s decades of work in Kansas City in both professional and volunteer roles, including serving as director of social services at Children’s Mercy Hospital and helping found local supportive programs.
Kitchen’s record, the sponsor said, included co‑founding the Child Protection Crisis Center, serving on the Jackson County community mental health board and the Kansas City Human Rights Commission, and work on housing and library programs focused on women’s equality. The sponsor described a lifetime of advocacy for people “who went ignored” and invited the chamber to recognize her service with a printed resolution.
The resolution was referred to the journal for printing; no vote on policy or funding was recorded. The Senate proceeded to other business afterward.
