Catholic Social Service Teams up with the Americorp Vista Program

to provide Benefit Bank Services in Great Bend KS

Catholic Social Service is delighted to have two Americorp Volunteers to assist with the Benefit Bank program in Great Bend, Kansas, beginning in October 2009. Pattie Sanders and Gabriela Moreno, both trained in the Benefit Bank software program, will work with moderate-and low-income individuals and families to determine whether they are eligible for public benefits such as cash assistance, food assistance and Medicaid. They will also be able to help e-file taxes, FREE of charge, to assist families in claiming the tax credits, deductions and adjustments they are eligible to receive.

The Benefit Bank Service is available at five sites throughout the diocese:

  • The Catholic Social Service Office in Great Bend KS
  • The Catholic Social Service Office in Garden City KS
  • The Catholic Social Service Office in Dodge City KS
  • The Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Dodge City KS
  • St John the Apostle Church in St John KS

In addition to these locations, Sanders and Moreno will partner with other agencies, and set up booths and tables throughout the community in order to reach those in need.
