- Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas – “Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas’ Refugee and Immigration Services programming has more than 35 years of experience in resettling refugees in the state of Kansas. The agency is seen as the area expert on refugee resettlement and provides information to numerous community agencies that have contact with refugees. While health departments, SRS, ESL schools, mental health providers, and other agencies have contact with refugees to meet specific needs, Catholic Charities is truly a point of information, referral, service provision, and service coordination of refugees in the area.”
