Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas is committed to helping our neighbors in need during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Hours of operation for our food pantries have changed to allow time for thorough sanitization measures according to the CDC and local public health department guidelines. Ministries other than food assistance and healthcare may see temporary closures. Please visit our COVID-19 information page for more details.
Celebrating Over 60 Years of Serving Our Neighbors in Need
A ministry of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas dispenses love and hope to our neighbors in need throughout our 21 county service area.
We offer a wide range of specialized programs and services that span from the beginning to life’s end. We help with immediate survival needs including food, clothing and shelter. More than that, we educate, give guidance and provide resources that will result in long-term change. All services provided are based on need — not religion, race or nationality.
Join Us in Prayer
Our recent virtual event, Grace and Gratitude, is an invitation to join our Catholic Charities team in praying the Rosary. Our mediation focuses on the Gospel of Matthew 25:35-36 and how the Corporal Works of Mercy are lived out with you through the work of Catholic Charities.
Each decade features our team on site at a ministry of Catholic Charities.
Family Stabilization
We help stabilize lives through our Family Support Centers, Rural Outreach, Shalom House, Refugee Services, and more.
Family Strengthening

Find the Help You Need
Our Family Support Centers offer a continuum of wrap-around services. While we will always provide food, clothing and hope, our ultimate goal is to move those we serve towards self-sustainability through skills training, financial education and employment.
