Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas is committed to helping our neighbors in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
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.
Family Stabilization
We help stabilize lives through our Family Support Centers, Rural Outreach, Shalom House, Refugee Services, and more.
Family Strengthening
We assist in strengthening our communities through diverse programs in financial education, community services, pregnancy support, and food programs.
Respect Life Services
We value the dignity of life starting with our founding program, adoption, through our Catholic Community Hospice end-of-life care.

Find the Help You Need
