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:

Time: 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Atwood Stop:
Location: Sacred Heart, 508 N Railroad Ave

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.
