Project Concern, Inc.

Specific Need

Financial Stability Long-term. Project Concern has been surviving a high-inflationary period that has driven up two of our biggest costs; food & fuel. Your donations will help us continue to provide Meals on Wheels, help sustain and keep open our Senior Centers, and help keep affordable transportation in Atchison County. We rely most upon grants and donations from local and state sources. Funding from local agencies have decreased dramatically or have disappeared as we started the 2026 year. Demand for our services have continued to grow while funding has not kept pace.

Mission

Project Concern's mission is to become an expression of concern for persons in Atchison County, KS, by providing nutrition & transportation services with the goal of helping citizens achieve and maintain independence & maximum involvement in community affairs & activities.
