Doorstep began in 1966 with neighbors helping neighbors, and that continues today!
We are supported by 55 interfaith member congregations, individuals, businesses, community groups, and grants.
Doorstep provides assistance with food, clothing, household items, hygiene kits, rent, utility assistance, prescriptions, dental vouchers, gas vouchers and Topeka Metro bus passes for people to get to/from work or medical appointments, pet food, auto resources, limited daycare and phone bill payments, and information on community programs and services which may further assist our neighbors in need.
In 2023, the need for food assistance in our community sharply increased!
At Doorstep the number of food orders we provided to feed our neighbors increased 88% over 2022.
Our budget for food was $7,000, as a result of the increase and inflation, we spent over $54,000 on food purchases to keep food on our shelves to provide over 127,000 pounds of food creating 85,000 meals.
The need has remained high in 2024! In seven months we have already spent $38,000 on food purchases, providing nearly 97,000 pounds of food in 1,718 food orders creating 65,535 meals for our neighbors who are struggling to make ends meet and feed their families.
