ABOUT
Like many communities in the US, our community--the people living in Wichita and surrounding areas--rely on nonprofits and faith-based groups to fill huge gaps left by the social safety nets of our government. These organizations can make a huge, lasting impact on the lives they touch. Unfortunately, not every organization welcomes the beautiful diversity and complex backgrounds of those seeking their services. Some organizations may impose harmful and humiliating requirements or refuse to provide services altogether.
The goal of this project is to not only provide a list of resources available in our community, but to let people know what they can expect when engaging with an organization for the first time.
