Financial Gift Opportunities
With the support of donors like you, Catholic Social Service is able to provide services that make a vital difference for the people and communities of southwest Kansas.
Because of you, we are able to walk with teen parents, helping them to make good decisions for themselves and their children. We support willing and courageous parents who have given their "fiat" to love children needing a good home. And we provide education, counseling and financial assistance for individuals, couples, and families who struggle to overcome cycles of addiction and economic hardship.
We couldn't do this without you! Your financial support enables us to share God's Word and Love with children, women, men and families, of every faith and creed, who struggle in the midst of crisis. We extend our deepest gratitude to you for your ongoing support. Please choose from the gift giving opportunities listed below.
