Sisters of St. Joseph Dear Neighbor Ministries

Wichita, KS 67218
Serving the ‘dear neighbor’ has a special emphasis in the hilltop neighborhood. Immediately adjacent to Mount St. Mary Convent, it is home to more than 1,850 individuals, most of whom are economically struggling. In 2001, this ministry began with sisters visiting homes, delivering food and assessing needs. It now includes social services; referrals; assistance with rent; and utility and emergency needs. In recent years, volunteer income tax preparation and representative payee services have been added. Nearly 80 volunteers assist a staff of four in this ministry. Dear Neighbor Ministries also includes Hilltop Community and Peace Gardens. The
original Community Garden started in 1997 to assist the poor in growing
their own food and building community. Now there are 38 individual
garden plots and 14 raised beds for seniors. In 2002, an adjacent Peace
Garden was created to provide a botanical-like place to conduct
educational programs, spiritual reflection and community building.
