Funder Resource Page →Addiction does not arrive alone. It comes with hunger, homelessness, broken relationships, mental health crises, and a creeping belief that nobody is coming. For veterans, it comes with moral injury and a system that was supposed to catch them and didn't. Restoration requires the whole response — all at once, all in one place. That is what Restoring Wichita was built to deliver.
Hunger. Homelessness. Addiction. Isolation. These crises do not arrive separately — they arrive together. Restoring Wichita is the one organization in our community built to address every one of them simultaneously, starting with the most immediate need first.
Recovery from addiction. Stability after homelessness. Food on the table. Mental health support. A reason to keep going. Whatever form your lostness takes — we start there, and we build from there.
Peer coaching, housing navigation, basic needs, mental health linkage, employment support, and faith community — all coordinated through a single intake, a single coach, a single phone call. No referral maze.
We believe Jesus Christ makes restoration possible — for anyone, from any form of lostness. Our faith is explicit. Our services are open to every person in need, regardless of where they stand with God.
Carol Robinson, MSW, didn't come to this work through a textbook. She came through the wilderness of watching her son Garrett disappear — and the long, desperate search to bring him home. Garrett served five years in the Army — two tours to Afghanistan — and came home carrying PTSD. The alcohol and opiates followed. The shame kept him silent. Carol kept looking.
When she finally found him and brought him home, what followed was a long road together — through addiction, moral injury, and the slow return to Jesus. When Garrett reached two years of sustained recovery, Carol felt called: what about all the other lost sheep?
One call. One coach. Every service you need — activated based on what you actually need, not a predetermined program track. This is whole-person recovery. All of it, all at once.
Any adult who needs support can contact Restoring Wichita. Addiction, food insecurity, housing instability, or simply feeling lost and unseen — we respond within 24 hours.
A Certified Peer Recovery Coach meets with every client to assess the full picture — housing, food, mental health, sobriety, relationships, and faith. The whole person. Not just the presenting problem.
Individual and group peer coaching starts immediately — faith-based, non-clinical, and consistent. The coach stays assigned through 90 days.
Every service that applies to your situation is activated in parallel — housing, food, mental health, employment. You do not have to choose one door. All the doors open at once.
Clients are connected to a faith community that fits — offered, not required. The belonging piece that clinical care cannot provide.
Check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days track the full picture — sobriety, housing, food, mental health, employment, belonging. Recovery is not a discharge date. We stay until stability is real.
Which ones do you need? All of them are here. Recovery from addiction, homelessness, hunger, isolation, or simply being lost — each service addresses one dimension of a whole person. None of them work without the others. All of them are free.
A Certified Peer Recovery Coach with lived experience walks alongside you — from the first call through 90 days of stability. The relationship that makes every other service work.
Food, hygiene supplies, and essential resource connections — available the same day you reach out. You cannot focus on recovery when you do not know where your next meal is coming from.
Housing navigation, transitional housing referrals, and stability monitoring at 30, 60, and 90 days. A stable roof is not a bonus — it is the foundation everything else is built on.
Warm handoffs to licensed mental health providers — with 14-day follow-up confirmation. The trauma underneath the crisis does not go away on its own. We make sure someone picks up.
Employment readiness, financial literacy, and daily living skills — because restoration means having somewhere to go and something to do. Recovery gives life back. Employment gives it direction.
An 8-week Bible study and discipleship program for anyone who wants to go deeper. Offered freely, never required. Recovery begins in the soul — and this is where we go there together.

Restoring Wichita is built for the accountability standard that foundation partners expect. We track every client interaction, confirm scope before accepting restricted gifts, and deliver written impact reports quarterly and annually.
For gifts of $10,000 or more, Carol Robinson, MSW, personally walks through the impact plan, timeline, and reporting cadence before the gift is finalized. No surprises. No vague outcomes.
We confirm scope, timeline, budget, and reporting cadence before committing. Unrestricted and restricted gifts both welcome. Every grant is tracked separately with written mid-year and end-of-year reports.
Unrestricted support gives flexibility to protect quality. Restricted gifts are welcome when you have a specific program focus. Either way, we confirm scope and report back on schedule.

We collaborate with healthcare systems, faith communities, housing providers, and community organizations to deliver recovery support with minimal administrative burden and maximum real-world impact.
Trained peer coaches, warm referral pathways, outcome tracking, and clear communication with leadership. We handle the complexity.
Space, referral relationships, and community trust. Restoring Wichita handles structure, follow-through, and funder reporting.
This is not a promise about addiction. It is a promise about every form of lostness. The strays. The injured. The weak. The hungry and the homeless and the one who simply stopped believing anyone was coming. Restoring Wichita exists to be the fulfillment of that promise — every service, every coach, every warm handoff, every plate of food — the hands of Jesus showing up for every lost sheep, whatever brought them to our door. We will search. We will bind up. We will bring them home.
