Together, we strengthen families, put people to work and transform communities.
The most recent Missouri Report on Poverty cites five key factors that impact people living in poverty: food, housing, health, education, family and economic security.
We work to improve every single one of those factors for people we serve. Emergency assistance and nutritional education helps hungry families. Housing assistance and resources help people find and keep stable homes. And our Workforce Development service is placing hundreds of people in jobs that pay livable wages. Each service is paired with education and support designed to break the cycle of poverty – permanently.
Proceeds from Outpace Poverty 2018 benefit the many programs and services provided by Catholic Charities of Kansas City-St. Joseph. The mission of Catholic Charities is to transform lives and communities through hope-filled care, services and advocacy.
