In this Good Day Kansas segment, Father Andrew O’Connor, Executive Director of Mission and Ministry at Saint Francis Ministries, shares how a grant from the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas is helping launch a new pop-up shop program. With support from SCHEELS, the initiative will provide foster children and families with clothing and essentials in a dignified, empowering way—mimicking a true shopping experience.
