The Gil Carter Initiative is focused on enhancing the development, dignity and quality of the lives of socioeconomically challenged children and young adults regardless of their race or religion.

The Ashby House Bridge program provides housing and life skills to thousands of women and families from across the state of Kansas.

With new energy efficient windows, plumbing and heating and cooling systems, new flooring will return the Ashby House to its full potential.
