Capital Campaign
United Methodist Open Door held its capital campaign kickoff luncheon on Feb. 11, 2009 at Hinkle Elkouri Law Firm. The $7.4 campaign will raise funds for a resource referral center and food distribution center.
Former Senator Nancy Kassebaum Baker and Gov. Kathleen Sebelius spoke at the event and helped launch the campaign before about 100 supporters. The agency has already raised more than $1 million of the total. Spirit AeroSystems, Inc. presented a check for $300,000 for the project.
Other project contributors include Intrust Bank, the campaign steering committee and community foundations. McCluggage Van Sickle & Perry has been named as the architect for the project.
