Mission

DEAR NEIGHBOR MINISTRIES WAS FOUNDED IN 2001 BY THE CONGREGATION OF ST. JOSEPH IN THE HILLTOP NEIGHBORHOOD OF WICHITA. SEEING THE POVERTY IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, THE SISTERS BEGAN DELIVERING MEALS TO NEARBY FAMILIES.

TODAY, DEAR NEIGHBOR MINISTRIES OFFERS A FOOD PANTRY, EMERGENCY RENT AND UTILITY ASSISTANCE, ADVOCACY, FINANCIAL LITERACY EDUCATION, A COMMUNITY GARDEN, AND OUTREACH TO OUR NEIGHBORS. ROOTED IN HOSPITALITY AND RELATIONSHIP, DEAR NEIGHBOR IS A WELCOMING PLACE WHERE NEIGHBORS CAN FIND HELP AND ARE TREATED WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT.
