Need food or housing assistance? Get help here.
Our Family Support Centers offer food pantries, case management services, and more. Scheduling an appointment with your local Family Support Center is the starting point for many of our programs. Our case managers can offer referrals to services such as Financial Education programs, Pregnancy Support Services, and Workforce Development.
Do you want to make a difference in our community? Sign up to volunteer! Many opportunities are available at our Family Support Center, as well as our other programs. Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas depends on our dedicated volunteers to provide much-needed services to our neighbors in need!
We provide housing assistance to those who may be, or who are at risk for, experiencing homelessness. We provide rapid rehousing and homeless prevention services, directing others to community partners for transitional housing. We also provide direct financial assistance for past due rent and utility payments to those eligible.
Thanks, in large part, to our partnership with Giving the Basics, our neighbors in need who visit one of our food pantries can also receive some basic hygiene products such as soap, shampoo, and more. 
Family Financial Transformations is a one-year program that includes case management and financial coaching for the whole family, children to adult.
We share job opportunities, assist with job searches and help with access to transportation. Participants in our Employment Support programs may also receive referrals and opportunities to sharpen their skills. We also offer interview tips and guidance about how to dress for success.
Images of Corita’s Corner by Topeka-Capitol Journal
Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas’ Topeka Family Support Center is home to Corita’s Corner. It is named after Sister Corita, a beloved Topeka nun and principal of Assumption parish school, who passed away in 2013.
Those seeking a free sack lunch knock on the window and a volunteer opens a sliding window, handing out a brown paper bag that contains a bologna-and-cheese sandwich, bag of chips and a few cookies.
Corita’s Corner is located on the east side of our Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas Topeka Family Support Center office at 234 S. Kansas Ave.
—Matthew 25:40
