Overview
Mission
Guided by God's love, our mission is to provide compassionate service to all people in need throughout northern Kansas. We do this in a variety of ways which include (a) financial and housing assistance, (b) personal care and basic needs such as food hygiene, diapers and clothing, (c) counseling services, (d) pregnancy support and adoption services, and (f) thrift stores in Salina, Kansas, and Hays, Kansas.
What it reported doing in 2024
Adoption programs work with birth parents and adoptive couples to facilitate infant adoption services, conduct home studies, and assist with search and reunion services. In working with birth parents, the Organization helps explore thoughts and feelings about parenting as well as create an adoption plan. A final decision about any adoption belongs to the birth parents. Adoptions are open as the Organization believes children are best served by preserving their connection to their family of origin. In addition, the Organization provides a pregnancy support program focused on helping deliver health, full-term babies using as individualized plan designed for each mother that may include counseling and support, pregnancy and infant items, limited financial assistance and help locating resources.
