Peace through Partnerships
Samaritan Community

Partners for Wichita Samaritan Community helps
congregations with partnerships to strengthen and
encourage their service for the peace and well-being of
people in the Wichita area community.
Bags of Blessings
Congregations and groups collect personal care kits to
distribute to social service agencies in the greater
Wichita area.  We are planning for a major Bags of
Blessings collection in January/February 2012 as a
Valentine for neighbors in need.  See “Events” for
details.  Click here for
"In February, Give Bags of
Blessings from the Heart" to see how to take part.
Neighborhood Adventures
Partners for Wichita offers opportunities for groups to experience a neighborhood known for its challenges and cultural interests, to
see and hear neighbors in their unique environment, and to grow in awareness, appreciation, respect, and concern for the diverse
people and places of our community.  For a half day, groups visit shops, schools, and service agencies, churches, restaurants, and
homes in the El Pueblo, Midtown, and Planeview areas of Wichita, with preparation and debriefing.
Poverty Awareness Series
Several four-part series of one-hour classes have been offered in area churches, to help participants experience the challenges and
perspectives of families in poverty.
Neighbor 2 Neighbor partnerships…  something for the future?
Partners for Wichita is exploring possible partnerships with persons in need, to help identify goals and resources to achieve them.
Safe Streets Wichita
Safe Streets Wichita & Planeview assists neighborhood residents,
congregations, public agencies, and organizations identify neighborhood needs
and take steps to meet those needs.  Together we build a new sense of
neighborhood worth and power to open new opportunities for safe and
productive lives together.  Safe Streets Wichita serves the El Pueblo and Historic
Midtown neighborhoods...  and now serves the Planeview neighborhood.
