Celebrating 65+ Years of Providing Help, Hope and Hospitality
Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas, a ministry of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, serves the most vulnerable men, women and children of all faiths across our 21-county service area.
We are committed to walking our neighbors in need out of poverty. We provide more than 30 innovative programs and solutions that stabilize and strengthen individuals and families, moving them from a place of needing help to one of having hope. All services provided are based on need — not religion, gender, race or nationality.
