Founded in 1956 as a ministry of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, the organization provides comprehensive food assistance and other supportive services to individuals and families across 21 counties. The Hope Distribution Center warehouse enables Catholic Charities to distribute approximately 300,000 pounds of food monthly, with an adjacent food pantry operating on a client-choice model that allows families to select items based on their dietary and cultural needs. As a faith-based nonprofit, Catholic Charities serves people of all faiths and relies on community volunteers and donations to maintain its food security programs and numerous other services aimed at helping neighbors move from crisis to stability.
