The Independence Reporter took the time to come check out the Indy Resource Center during our open house on Monday, which had a fantastic turn out! Thank you to all who came!! On a side note, we wanted to clarify that the Indy Resource Center is not a ministry of Hannah’s House, it is with Home Sweet Home.

Led and coordinated by Dean Hayse President of CMIH, the painting project of the Miller Veterans house by the Cessna/ Beechcraft team was an enormous success. It’s part of Love Independence Day activities, and we were fortunate to be one of the selected houses.

Thanks again to April Nutt, Independence Municipalities, Dean Hayse, CMIH and all the Textron affiliated volunteers!

Southeast Kansas Veteran Providers’Coalition

As the Chief Operating Officer of Home Sweet Home, Chris Mitchell discovered homeless veterans within our community.  Not only was he concerned for their housing, but also for other areas of their lives.  Out of this concern, he and other concerned citizens have created Southeast Kansas Veteran Providers Coalition.  The following describes their goal:  “Concerned citizens, providers and business collaborating to cultivate a better quality of life for Veterans and their families.  We can empower Veterans with resources, support and referrals to services available throughout the Southeast Kansas Community.”

Chris Mitchell is President of the Southeast Kansas Veteran Providers Coalition.

For additional information about the Coalition: Phone (620)331-5115; Fax (620)331-5665; or

One of the exciting results of the above action is a coming attraction being brought to Independence, Kansas during the week of November 8-11, 2023. Eyes of Freedom is a traveling memorial dedicated to honoring the service and sacrifice of all answer our Nation’s call.
