A transformational approach supporting families wanting to make the journey out of poverty |

A Thrive Community will begin in-person meetings again sometime in early Spring. Check back here to find out the dates for getting back to In person meetings. At that time we will be practicing all recommended Covid-19 protocols for our gatherings. We will start with Match Team nights in-person and education nights will still be via Zoom meetings. We are preparing meals for all activities. On education nights the meals can be picked up at East Heights as we have been doing since May. On Match Team nights we will eat at East Heights and separate out into teams to reconnect and work on goals and dreams. We are excited to be able to get together face-to-face [ or mask to mask ] and hope we can begin moving forward together.
The Community Foundation, in partnership with the Salvation Army, currently has a fund to pay utility bills for people who have been affected by COVID-19. The program is called "Stand with Wichita", but has not gotten a lot of publicity.
Anyone who needs help with utility bills due to COVID-19 circumstances can be approved over the phone by calling the Salvation Army at 263-2769 and asking for "Stand with Wichita".
As we continue to navigate through this stressful pandemic, the Thrive Board and staff continue to commit themselves and the organization resources to feed and walk with our team leaders. Each week we prepare and provide the Tuesday night meal which our team leaders drive by and pick up for home. Following Tuesday dinner Dana and Marie conduct zoom sessions with our team leaders and allys to help them continue to work on goals and receive encouragement to move forward. Thanks to everyone for continuing to support A Thrive Community.
