Catholic Charities Expanding Outreach Services to Hill City and Atwood

Catholic Charities of Northern Kansas is thrilled to announce the expansion of its outreach services to include the communities of Hill City and Atwood. This move aims to provide essential support to families who may require additional assistance.

"On behalf of Catholic Charities of Northern Kansas, I am excited to announce our expansion into Hill City and Atwood," said Megan Robl, Executive Director of Catholic Charities. "Our goal is to reach families on the margins throughout Western Kansas, ensuring that everyone has access to the support they need."

On Wednesday, May 29th, Catholic Charities will conduct a trial run, delivering food and hygiene items directly to residents of Hill City and Atwood. This initiative reflects the organization's ongoing commitment to addressing the needs of individuals and families facing hardship.

Here are the details for the outreach stops:

Hill City Stop:

• Location: Immaculate Heart of Mary, 110 North 10th Ave
• Time: 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Atwood Stop:

• Location: Sacred Heart, 508 N Railroad Ave
• Time: 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm

During the outreach stops, guests are requested to remain in their vehicles for their convenience and safety. Catholic Charities staff will come directly to them, streamlining the process and ensuring efficient distribution.

Please note that to receive assistance, attendees must have incomes at or below 130% of the federal poverty guidelines. Proof of income will be required.

Catholic Charities currently visits 24 rural communities across the Diocese of Salina every month, in addition to serving from its three office locations in Hays, Salina, and Manhattan. Beginning in July, the organization plans to include regular monthly visits to Atwood and Hill City.
