HOPE HAS A NAME

CENTER OF GRACE

Our mission is to offer a safe space of hospitality for all; attend to basic, health, and education needs; and provide opportunities to share, learn, and grow into self-sufficiency.

Our community is a diverse, unique blend of people from backgrounds spanning class, race, culture, and language. The Center of Grace sits in the heart of downtown Olathe, an ideal location for programs that benefit our whole community – from the most vulnerable in need of basic services, to those looking to bring self-sufficiency and stability to their lives. Inspired by our many community partnerships, our mission is to build relationships that lead to lasting change for our city.

The Center of Grace welcomes and serves everyone regardless of race, color, national origin, sexual orientation, age, religious beliefs or different ability.

Our Impact in 2024

At Center of Grace, we are committed to meeting basic needs, fostering education, and creating opportunities for self-sufficiency. In 2024, with the support of our incredible community, we served 30,000 individuals through our programs—including free clothing, food, hygiene items, education, and more.

Every number represents a life touched, a need met, and a step toward a stronger community. Thank you for being part of this impact! Together, we can continue to grow and serve even more in 2025.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating 25 years of impact, hospitality, and hope at Center of Grace! Your support and presence made our celebration a huge success. We’re so grateful to our donors, attendees, and community partners for making this milestone possible.

Together, we’ve built a community that welcomes everyone, meets basic needs, and empowers individuals toward self-sufficiency. Here’s to another 25 years of transforming lives and strengthening our community!
