Fundraisers and Donations
Fundraising events & donation drives.
From food drives to experiences to casual dress days to givebacks, there are countless ways that businesses, churches, community organizations, families and individuals can help Catholic Charities serve those in our community who are in need. Whether you want to raise dollars by planning your own fundraiser or collect non-perishable food or personal hygiene items through a donation drive, Catholic Charities has the tools to help you plan a successful event.
Host your own fundraising event
Get creative. You, your friends or team at work can raise funds and have fun doing it.
Your place of employment can host casual dress days requiring staff to donate a set amount to wear jeans or other fun attire. The donations can be given to Catholic Charities.
For your birthday or any celebration, host your own fundraiser for Catholic Charities. Plan a dinner at home and invite your friends and family. We’ll provide our best video showcasing our programs, giving envelopes and a QR code linking to a fundraising page for your event.
Be creative and have fun. A one-hour experience event featuring a virtual visit from celebrity talent can range from cooking and baking demonstrations to boozy tastings that will engage your guests.
Let us know what you are planning so we can help with guidance and resources. We can help with ideas, toolkits, online platforms, and more. We can join your event to share the mission and work of Catholic Charities.
For more information on hosting an Eat, Pray and Give event or a collection drive, call a development team member at (316) 264-8344, ext. 1262, or email the team at events@CatholicCharitiesWichita.org.
Non-cash (Gift-in-kind) donations
In most cases, the veterans, survivors, individuals and families who come to Catholic Charities in need of safe housing, homeless shelter or housing support have only the clothes on their back or all their possessions in a few bags. When they are ready to move into sustainable housing, they lack the most basic necessities for setting up a home. The children we serve need supplies for school, and the lives of many of our clients – young and old alike — are enriched through art projects. Catholic Charities operates several buildings that we need to keep clean and sanitized.
Donations of new items such as towels, bed linens, personal care items, cleaning and laundry products, diapers, small appliances and housewares, art supplies, gift cards and so many more items, help our clients lead dignified and enriching lives.
Catholic Charities accepts in-kind donations of new* items only by appointment at our administrative offices at 437 N Topeka St., Wichita. We also accept donations of new items at our Southeast Kansas Services office at 411 E. 12th St. in Pittsburg.
For more information or to schedule an appointment to drop off new items, please call a development team member at (316) 264-8344, ext. 1262.
*Catholic Charities does not have the capacity to wash and sanitize used clothing, and bed, bath and kitchen linens. Please consider donating gently used items such as these to the Klothes Kloset at United Methodist Open Door, 402 E 2nd St. in downtown Wichita, or call them at (316) 265-9371.
