Moving forward in 2022

The Pettis County community is home to a significant number of our neighbors in need of help to obtain the necessities of life, i.e. food, clothing and shelter. Additional services are critical to assist them in establishing a stable lifestyle. Presently Sedalia has good “safety net” services which provide food and clothing.

The next tier of service needed is that which allows people to function at a basic level so they can move on to a stable lifestyle.

  • Sanitary restroom facilities
  • Water source
  • Showers for personal hygiene

  • Access to information resources and communication options
  • A cooling and warming station for safe escape from severe weather
