Welcome to The Catalyst Chronicle

Welcome to The Catalyst Chronicle

Connecting resources. Strengthening community.

At Community Resources Council (CRC), connection is at the heart of everything we do. For a century, we’ve worked alongside community partners, organizations, and neighbors to bring people and resources together in ways that create meaningful, lasting impact across Topeka and Shawnee County.

We created The Catalyst Chronicle as a space to share information, insight, and stories that strengthen our community. Here, you’ll find updates on CRC initiatives, highlights of community partnerships, accessible data and research, nonprofit guidance, and resources designed to help individuals and organizations navigate the systems that support community well-being.

CRC’s mission is to connect the resources in our community through Collaboration, Advocacy, Research, and Education. From community-wide planning and trusted data to programs like CRC SAFE Homes, which supports veterans, individuals with disabilities, and low- to moderate-income families, our work is rooted in bringing people together around shared solutions.

This blog is for community members, nonprofit leaders, partners, and anyone who cares about building a stronger, more connected community. We invite you to follow along, share what you learn, and be part of the conversations that move our community forward.

Thank you for being here. We’re glad you’re part of The Catalyst Chronicle.
