Funds Given for Homeless Children Education

Topeka Shawnee County Homeless Task Force presented a check totaling $7,684.55 to the  Topeka Rescue Mission's Children's Palace on August 12, 2015.

TRM's Children's Palace is currently under construction with plans to open in early Spring of 2016.  The Palace will host a total of 10 classrooms and other spaces that will accommodate 124 homeless children ages 0 to pre-kindergarten.  

The generous donation from Topeka Shawnee County Homeless Task Force will assist efforts to break those cycles and address the issue of poverty and homelessness through support and education.  

The Topeka and Shawnee County Homeless Task Force is a volunteer organization administered by Community Resources Council (CRC.) The Homeless Task Force administers the federal Continuum of Care program.
