Catholic Charities of Central and Northern Missouri is the social services outreach arm of the Diocese of Jefferson City. We are tasked with assisting our bishop, Bishop W. Shawn McKnight, with ensuring the Catholic Church in Central and Northern Missouri is fulfilling her mission to reach out to those on the margins and follow through with our biblical call to serve those in need. We believe in assisting the most basic and immediate needs of the poor and vulnerable and by giving them the help and resources needed for long-term change. We choose to focus on those areas of greatest need and avoid duplication of services wherever possible, providing counseling, health and nutrition services, and financial wellness. We also belong to the nation's largest private social services network through our affiliation with Catholic Charities USA.

TheCarbonUnderground was created to be the umbrella organization responsible for organizing, communicating and educating the world about the powerful climate change-reversing ability of healthy soil, and for helping to create the transformation of enough farms and grasslands to restore a healthy climate. Filling the void that currently exists between research and action, TheCarbonUnderground will educate and motivate via media, social platforms, partnerships, and multi-level curriculum. Current studies on the impact of restoring soil health are enormously promising and TheCarbonUnderground intends to expand our learning by coordinating a globally inter-connected set of research groups working to demonstrate the potential game-changing impact of sustainable agriculture and land management as critical tools for sequestering carbon. TheCarbonUnderground’s online platform under development will provide a dynamic data-sharing home for farmers, governments, NGOs, and scientists to both improve results and proliferate transformation.
