Project Topeka
Community Food Drive
Hunger continues to be a growing problem in Topeka and throughout the nation as more and more people are being affected by poverty. During the month of February, everyone is asked to bring food to work, school or to a place of worship. Non-perishable food donations to Project Topeka may be dropped off at any fire station in Topeka and Shawnee County.
In 1986, the Community Resources Council, KSNT-TV 27 and Junior League of Topeka, under the name Project Concern, began a new project to assist emergency food providers in the community. The following year, the name was changed to Project Topeka to reflect the focus on people helping people in the community. The Project collected 58,000 food items in the first year, or approximately 14½ tons of food.
Thank You Topeka!
