First Baptist Church Riverton would like to thank the Community Foundation of South East Kansas for it’s support of our Share the Love food pantry and Be the Art projects.
Through the generous grants awarded by the foundation the food pantry was able to provide food to those in Riverton, Baxter Springs and Galena Kansas facing a food insufficiency.
Food purchased through Kansas Food Bank provided assistance to over 3000 individuals.
Through the Be the Art Project we have painted, crafted learned the glass etch and managed our goal to reduce loneliness in our community by providing weekly art classes.


We accept donations directly to First Baptist Riverton, and we encourage donations to the Community Foundation of Southeast Kanas to support the many programs they support.

“The Community Foundation of Southeast Kansas hosts individual charitable funds created by donors who have a passion for giving back to their community. Grants from these funds assist people throughout Southeast Kansas and beyond. Call the Foundation at 620-231-8897 with questions about the Community Foundation.”

THANK YOU ELM ACRES AND COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF SE KANSAS
The ‘Back to Basics’ grant was awarded to First Baptist Church Riverton by the Elm Acres at Risk Organization in March of 2025. With the guidance of Community Foundation of Southeast Kansas, we were able to complete the grant in March of this year. We are humbled to be a small part of making a big difference for our students.
Through the grant we were able to provide nontraditional school needs for students in Riverton, Galena, Baxter Springs and Columbus. Over 50 students benefitted from the grant.
Items provided were welding gloves, helmets, protective footwear, outerwear, underwear to mention a few.
