Food pantries in Shawnee County.
Food pantries in Topeka and across Shawnee County administer social services focused on providing food and preventing hunger. The non-profit agencies that operate the centers help hundreds of underemployed or working poor families each and every month. Also, thousands of children and seniors also benefit from the assistance available at these food banks.
The non-profits often partner with government agencies or national organizations as well in an effort to try to ensure no one is left behind. This means that a holistic approach is taken. It involves offering food, information on emergency financial aid, job training, and benefits such as applications to SNAP food stamps. Or other basic needs can be addressed too. This means a pantry may offer clothing, baby formula, or personal hygiene items too. So the programs are extensive.
