ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOUNDATION, Inc.
Helping People, Changing Lives. Serving Wyandotte County since 1965
The Economic Opportunity Foundation, Inc. is also known as EOF. Our service area is Wyandotte County and, more specifically, Kansas City, Kansas. With a population of over 165,000, we are the 4th most populous county in the state, and more than 16% of our community lives below the Federal Poverty Line. The Dotte's per capita income of $18,912 is over 30% lower than the Kansas average.
This is why we exist, to fight this disparity and all its causes. EOF is a non-profit Community Action Social Service Agency and your local advocate for anti-poverty policies and programs to help low-income families reaching for improved opportunities in the areas of employment, housing, and all other supportive services.
