Celebrating 60 Years

Building a Better Doorstep for Our Community

Since 1966, Doorstep hashelped Topeka families facing food insecurity, financial hardship,and other crises. More than 10,000 individuals rely on our services each year, many of them seniors or individuals with disabilities, yet our building is not equipped to handle the growing need.

 

As we celebrate Doorstep’s 60th year of service, our goal is to raise $966,000 to renovate our facility to match the compassion and care Doorstep provides every day.

 

Your generous gifts will help renovate and improve our facility so we can continue serving our community with dignity, accessibility, and care for decades to come.

Help us ensure Doorstep remains a trusted resource for Topeka families for the next 60 years.
