Let’s Help

Founded in 1969, Let’s Help is a not-for-profit organization committed to helping people achieve self-sufficiency and break the cycle of poverty. Our programs reach tens of thousands of people each year and involve hundreds of volunteers. Together, we are building a better community.

We work closely with other helping agencies in Shawnee County and provide referrals when needed. Applicants for our services are carefully screened to ensure there is no unnecessary duplication of services among agencies.

Topeka Rescue Mission

Since 1953, TRM has been a beacon of hope in the Topeka and NE Kansas communities to those experiencing homelessness, hunger, poverty and many forms of trauma.

In 70 years of service TRM has grown from a small facility with basic services and just a few beds, to a multi-facility organization that provides shelter, food services, housing opportunities, human trafficking and trauma interventions, rehabilitation, and education for thousands of people in need every year. Additionally TRM works closely with other community organizations to bring food, clean clothing and showers to unsheltered individuals in the Topeka area. 

Project Topeka

About Project Topeka

Since 1986, Project Topeka Community Food Drive has been providing food for hungry families through its annual February food collection effort.

Begun under the name Project Concern, the drive started as a cooperative effort by the Community Resources Council, KSNT-TV 27, and the Junior League of Topeka. The name was changed to Project Topeka Community Food Drive the following year to reflect the focus on people helping people in the community.

Since that initial drive, which produced, 58,000 food items, or approximately 14.5 tons of food, Project Topeka Community Food Drive has grown to collect the equivalent of nearly 200 tons of food annually for distribution through seven local food banks.

Thanks to the volunteer efforts of the its executive board and steering committee, Project Topeka Community Food Drive has no overhead. All proceeds, whether food or cash, go directly to supplying the food pantries.
