Stepping Stone Reopens
Stepping Stone Shelter received a one time allocation from the State of Kansas for much needed infrastructure renovations. This project began in fall of 2025, and the shelter was closed for construction. This project includes (but not limited to) adding more accessible rooms for persons with disabilities and creating a safe and fully functioning commercial kitchen to serve residental clients and visitors to the soup kitchen.

Beginning Monday, March 9, we will reopen the soup kitchen to the public for lunch (12:00–1:00 p.m.) and dinner (5:00–6:00 p.m.) as we fine-tune operations and train our new team in the commercial kitchen.

On March 16 at 11:00 a.m., we will celebrate with a ribbon-cutting ceremony followed by tours of the facility.
