Welcome Central is open Monday-Thursday, 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Our Night Shelter is open 7 days/week from 9:00 p.m.-7:00 a.m.

Welcome Central is the entity that resources those in our community with needs for clothing, food, assistance with rent/utilities, or even obtaining a birth certificate or ID. The Night Shelter is a safe place for unhoused individuals in Leavenworth County to find rest for the night. The Day Center is an environment where individuals learn to do their part by partaking in chores and other life skills. At the day shelter, individuals receive a warm meal and basic needs are met (i.e. a shower, laundry, a clean sink for daily grooming). The Day Center is open 7 days/week from 7:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. In addition to those items listed above, the Community of Hope has a holistic approach to providing as many wrap-around services to the unhoused population as possible. This includes the basic need of shelter (provided by our Night Shelter and Day Center), safety (by providing a safe environment, health services with a monthly medical team on-site, hair cuts, resources to establish long-term security, and items such as clothing, food, connecting to psychological services and more.

Free Community Meals for November 🍽️🦃🍁

10/29/2026

Not every important need fits into a grant category, and flexible giving is what fills the gaps. For example, grants might pay for the coffee we serve, but not the cream and sugar that make it feel like home.

Those little extras are often the first to go when budgets are stretched, yet they're exactly what turns a service into a kindness. The same is true for meals, outreach, and the everyday costs of keeping our doors open.

Unrestricted gifts let us meet needs as they come, whatever the day brings. Watch for our annual campaign this November, and share why flexible support means so much to you in the comments below.

🔥 Safety First at the Community of Hope! 🔥

At the Community of Hope, the safety and well-being of our staff and everyone who walks through our doors is a top priority! ❤️

Our team recently participated in fire extinguisher training and reviewed our new safety map to help ensure we are prepared to respond quickly and effectively in an emergency. We believe in equipping our staff with the knowledge, skills, and training needed to help keep everyone in our building safe.

A HUGE thank-you to Captain Kirk Mackey from the Lansing City Fire Department for taking the time to visit us and teach our team how to quickly and efficiently use fire extinguishers in the event of a fire at our facility. 🚒 Your time, expertise, and commitment to keeping our community safe are greatly appreciated!

At the Community of Hope, we believe that being prepared is an important part of caring for one another. Thank you to our dedicated staff for continuing to learn, grow, and make safety a priority! 💙

A heartfelt thank-you to Kaden Williams and Morris Smith Ford for supporting the Leavenworth Interfaith Community of Hope through their Annual Car and Truck Show!

Their event raised $1,210 for our shelter, helping us continue providing essential services and a safe place of belonging for unhoused guests in Leavenworth County.

We are truly grateful for their generosity and for community partners like Morris Smith Ford who help make hope possible. Thank you for standing with us!

Keeping a warm, safe place to sleep open depends on people who show up one shift at a time, and every night, volunteers keep our Night Shelter running. They welcome guests at the door, hand out sandwiches, snacks, and coffee, set out bedding, and help keep watch through the overnight hours.

No experience is needed, just a willingness to help a neighbor rest easy. New volunteers start with a monthly training that covers our policies, a tour of the space, and time for questions.

Cooler weather is on the way, so now's a great time to get involved. Call us at 913-702-8108 to learn about volunteering or the next training.

A heartfelt thank-you to Rapid Response Charities for stepping up when we needed help most. We were completely out of bottled water at our emergency shelter, and RRC heard the need and quickly delivered 36 cases of water for our neighbors.

This is what true partnership looks like, and we are deeply grateful for their support of our community.

Our shelter is still low on cleaning products, trash bags, detergent, and shelf-stable food items. If you’re able to help, donations make a meaningful difference for the individuals and families we serve.

Thank you, Rapid Response Charities, for helping us provide hope, dignity, and essential support when it matters most. 💙

There's more than one way to help your neighbors in Leavenworth. Whether you've got five dollars, a free afternoon, or a skill to share, here's where you can start:

▪️Make a financial gift in any amount
▪️Provide a meal for the Day Center
▪️Donate needed items from our current list
▪️Volunteer for a shift that fits your schedule
▪️Offer a professional skill or service

Not everyone can commit to a weekly shift, and that's okay. One meal, one donation, or one afternoon still helps a neighbor. See what we need most at lvcommunityofhope.org.
