The Topeka Literacy Council is committed to practicing the motto “Each One Teach One” by providing free and confidential one-to-one tutoring to adults, both native and non-native English speakers, who want to improve their literacy skills. 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.

Kadens Kloset is completely donation and volunteer run. When a church, business or organization commits to hosting a Kadens Kloset, we solicit donations from community members, the congregation, other non-profits and area businesses of new and gently used items to fill our community closet. Examples of these donations include monetary and financial contributions, baby items, children’s clothing of all sizes, shoes and outerwear, bedding, toiletry or hygiene items and luggage.

​Foster and adoptive families, children in care, teens, expectant mothers and local families in need are then invited to “shop” the closet, FREE of charge.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) originated from the grief of the de Villiers family, who lost their son Robbie to leukemia in 1944. Frustrated by the lack of treatments, Robbie’s parents, Rudolph and Antoinette, established the Robert Roesler de Villiers Foundation in 1949. Initially modest, the Foundation aimed to address the grim prognosis of leukemia, even stating its 100% fatality in 1955. Despite these challenges, the de Villiers’ unwavering belief in a cure fueled the Foundation’s growth. By the 1960s, it expanded nationally as The Leukemia Society of America, reflecting its broader reach.
