Topeka Rescue Mission

Topeka Rescue Mission Ministering to those in need by bringing Help & Hope through serving those experiencing homelessness and hunger.

Since 1953, TRM has been a beacon of hope in the Topeka and NE Kansas communities to those experiencing homelessness, hunger, poverty and many forms of trauma. In 70 years of service TRM has grown from a small facility with basic services and just a few beds, to a multi-facility organization that provides shelter, food services, housing opportunities, human trafficking and trauma interventions, re

habilitation, and education for thousands of people in need every year. Additionally, TRM works closely with other community organizations to bring food, clean clothing and showers to unsheltered individuals in the Topeka area. From providing shelter to 1,127 different individuals, to helping 232 individuals find safe and permanent housing, to providing 589,420 meals in 2022, TRM works tirelessly to support those in need in our community. We believe every person who walks through our doors is loved by God, and that each day is an opportunity to change someone’s life for the better. We strive to identify and help heal the root causes of homelessness and poverty, working daily to bring Help and Hope through serving those experiencing homelessness and hunger. TRM is proud to have a 4 star rating (out of 4) - 100% on Chairty Navigator. Visit https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/480688068 for more info!

We want to give special thanks to First Baptist Church - Topeka and American Baptist Women of the Central Region. This past Saturday we got to share about TRM and our programs. AB Women’s Ministries is a Christ-centered ministry with a commitment to encourage and empower women and girls to serve God. One of the ways they do this is through helping organizations in the community. TRM benefited from their mission through the donation of 40 Bibles that will bless our families as they move into housing.

Leadership isn’t just about making hard decisions; it’s about staying tender while carrying the weight of serving others. In this episode, La Manda Cunningham CEO of the Topeka Rescue Mission shares with us the challenge of burnout, comparison, staffing challenges, and the pressures of serving neighbors facing homelessness, hunger, addiction, and mental health crises. We also talk about TRM’s Night of Praise on October 11th at Fairlawn Nazarene Church in Topeka, a free evening of worship and community impact with doors opening at 5:30pm and music at 6pm, plus an invitation to bring a non-perishable food item. Finally, La Manda shares lessons from the City Gate Network CEO Summit, including finding “peace in the middle,” letting go of the pressure to wear a mask, and making space for quiet, phone-free time with God to truly reset.
