February Message From the Director

Dear Friends and Supporters,

As we move through February, I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support of Central Topeka Grocery Oasis. This time of year reminds us of the importance of community, connection, and caring for one another—values that are at the heart of CTGO’s mission.

With your partnership, we are continuing to make meaningful progress toward bringing healthy, affordable food access to Central Topeka. In these winter months, when food insecurity can be especially challenging for many families, our work remains focused on building sustainable solutions that strengthen neighborhood wellness and opportunity.

February is a season of renewed commitment, and we are excited about the steps ahead as we deepen community engagement, expand partnerships, and move closer to a lasting grocery resource for our residents.

Thank you for standing with us as we work toward a healthier and more resilient Central Topeka.

With gratitude,

Nadia Arbelo

Executive Director
