Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas

Who We Are

Since 1956, Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas has provided help, hope and hospitality to the most vulnerable of all faiths across 21 counties in Northeast Kansas, including Shawnee and Douglas counites. A ministry of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, our purpose is to animate the Gospel of Jesus Christ by putting love into action through stabilizing and strengthening programs and services for individuals and families in greatest need.

What We Do

Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas is committed to serving our communities with 25+ programs aimed at moving clients from a place of needing help to one of having hope.

We operate 7 Family Support Centers and 8 food pantries. Our Topeka Family Support Center relocated and expanded services in Shawnee County when Let’s Help, Inc., ceased operations and chose Catholic Charities to continue their critical work. In addition to food assistance, our Family Support Centers offer direct financial assistance for past due rent and utilities; job skills training; financial education; and more.

Our Rural Family Support Services serves our 15 communities where resources may not be easily accessible and Catholic Charities does not have a physical office. Our Resource Bus makes scheduled visits to these communities equipped with basic essentials including food, clothing, diapers and hygiene items.  

Catholic Charities also provides pregnancy support services to women facing an unexpected pregnancy; pairs adoptive families with infants in need of a forever home; offers transitional living programs to those at-risk or experiencing homelessness; provides education and employment support to refugees and immigrants; and much, much more!

Catholic Charities relies heavily on the generosity of the community to carry out our mission. For more information about how to engage through a financial gift or volunteer opportunity, visit: catholiccharitiesks.org
