Examples of What We Can Do:

Janie is on disability and cannot help herself when it comes to rescuing cats. She has trapped a homeless cat; rescued an abused cat; and took in an abandoned cat. This last one she did not think she could keep. However, after it was neutered, this slightly wild cat started curling up with her at night as well as getting along with the rest of the cats. She kept it. These are just a few that Critter Care has helped.

We are nearing 1,500 spay/neuters – Please help us and people like Janie eliminate the pain and suffering of companion animals by reducing the number of litters and homeless pets.

What are the Humanities?

The humanities help us understand what it means to be human — to seek connections with people and place. As we draw on our diverse histories, literature, ethics and cultures, we see more clearly who we are as people and define ideas that will shape a future worthy of generations to come.

The humanities start with stories — stories that connect us, that tell us who we are and where we’ve come from. They help us draw on insights from history, literature and culture to live richer lives.

The humanities generate ideas — ideas that change lives, that make each of us better citizens, and that strengthen the choices we make every day at home, at work and in our communities.

The humanities inspire action — action that changes lives and strengthens communities and our democracy.

The council also serves individuals who want to learn English as a second language.

The Topeka Literacy Council (TLC), founded in 1967, is a not-for-profit 501(C)(3) organization. It was first known as the Laubach Literacy Program and became a project of Church Women United of Topeka. The first workshop to train volunteer tutors was conducted in November 1967. Nineteen tutors were certified in that first workshop.

The council first found a home at the Central (United) Presbyterian Church and had space there until April of 1991, when the council acquired an office and Learning Center for the first time. This was made possible by a one-time grant from Sunbelt Literacy of Topeka, a distributor of New Readers Press, the publishing division of Laubach Literacy. Upon the closing of Sunbelt Literacy, their grant to the TLC provided money, office equipment and a paid office manager.
