Barry Feaker talks with La Manda Cunningham and Miriam Krehbiel from the Topeka Rescue Mission about their 2025 annual report and what it reveals about homelessness in Topeka. They break down key numbers, like over 1,200 guests, over 81,000 shelter nights, and more than 600,000 meals served, while exploring the human stories behind them. The conversation highlights longer shelter stays, rising disability rates, and the challenges of supporting families and children with dignity.

They also discuss food insecurity, Topeka Rescue Mission's RESTORE rehousing approach, and what it takes to help people move toward stability. The episode wraps with reflections on community support, volunteer impact, and a forward-looking focus on compassion in action.
