ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOUNDATION, Inc.
Helping People, Changing Lives. Serving Wyandotte County since 1965
While the EOF team is proud of our locally focused efforts and network, sometimes outside resources are also helpful. Just like we partner with Community Action Agencies across the state, there are also statewide agencies that have reached into Wyandotte County to partner with us.
Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas is a church ministry that offers emergency assistance services for basic needs such as heating bills, food, and housing, for families in poverty, the unemployed, homeless, stranded, and struggling, as well as immigrants and senior citizens. Their social workers can also refer those in need to free legal aid and more.
Kansas Legal Services is a statewide non-profit agency that helps the low-income, elderly, and disabled through the provision of essential legal, mediation, consultations, and employment training services. They also provide legal assistance pertaining to debt and financial needs.
