Shawnee Community Services offers several services that help our residents and community including a food pantry, free clothing and household items along with emergency financial help for shelter, utilities and health care. It’s an incredible organization run by two sisters, Sylvia Terry and Marlisa VanKemseke. Their mother, Evelyn Van Kemseke, founded Shawnee Community Services in 1982. Since then, the organization has made a lasting impact in so many lives. 

If you have any questions, we'd be happy to help answer them. You can e-mail us or call (913) 742-6251. Thank you in advance for considering donating to the Mayor's Christmas Tree Fund and, in turn, supporting Shawnee Community Services. A check will be presented to Shawnee Community Services at this year's Christkindlmarkt on Saturday, December 1 at City Hall directly before the Mayor's Christmas Tree lighting.
