WF staff spent the morning touring Second Light and learning more about its work to connect community members with the resources and support they need to thrive.

Second Light is a collaborative, one-stop resource hub that brings together housing assistance, mental health services, workforce support and other essential resources to help individuals navigate challenges and build stability.

Thank you to Steve Dixon and Josh Siebenaler for taking the time to share the vision behind this important community effort and for giving us a tour of the facility.

Welcome back, Jacqueline! 👋

We're excited to welcome Jacqueline Lara Terrazas back to WF for a second summer through the YMCA Job Prep Program.

As a North High School student involved in HALO, DECA, bowling, and tennis, Jacqueline brings enthusiasm, curiosity and a passion for serving her community. After spending last summer with our team, she's returning to learn more about philanthropy, community impact and the work it takes to help Wichita thrive.

We're grateful for the opportunity to support young leaders like Jacqueline as they explore their interests, build professional skills and discover ways to make a difference.

For more than a decade, the Wichita Foundation has partnered with the Wichita Orpheum Theatre to help preserve one of Wichita’s most iconic community treasures. 🎭

From stewarding donor support to helping sustain long-term restoration efforts, this partnership reflects the power of philanthropy, collaboration and community investment.

Now, as the Orpheum undergoes one of the most significant restorations in its 103-year history, we’re proud to continue supporting the artists, learners and audiences who shape Wichita’s cultural future.
