COMMUNITY FOOD DISTRIBUTION
At Topeka Rescue Mission, “bringing help and hope to those in need” is more than a phrase—it’s our calling. Hunger is rarely just about food. It’s often a sign of deeper struggles: families facing job loss, illness, or unexpected hardship. Across our community, more and more people are struggling to keep food on the table.
​
That’s why our Community Food Distribution exists. Each week, we meet people where they are—with dignity, compassion, and care. By offering boxes of nutritious food and essential items, we’re doing more than meeting immediate needs; we’re building relationships and reminding every person that they matter.
​
When you partner with us—by donating, volunteering, or spreading the word—you become part of something bigger. Together, we are strengthening our community, loving our neighbors, and helping restore hope—one box of food at a time.
