What We Do

We share the love of God through Jesus Christ with the children/youth in Chanute by providing them with a safe, secure, and fun place to go after school that offers a wide variety of learning experiences and opportunities. We opened in May of 1995 in a small house. Today Cherry Street has four buildings in which unique ministries take place.

East

Cherry Street East is located on the corner of Forest & Cherry in Chanute, KS. Children in grades K-2 attend here. This is also where our main office is located.

West

Cherry Street West was built in 2000. It is located at 719 N. Garfield. Children in grades 3-5 attend here. The Greenhouse is located behind our West building.

Warehouse

The Warehouse program is our Middle School program, located at our West building. It starts immediately after school and ends at 5:00 pm. Children receive a snack each day and participate in activities designed to build relationships and skills needed to successfully navigate middle school. Students may also volunteer at our East location.

Greenhouse

The Cherry Street Greenhouse is located behind our West building. Children that attend Cherry St., West, Cherry Street Warehouse, and our summer programming have the opportunity to participate in many activities involving our garden and greenhouse.

help us fulfill our mission

Without parents sending their children, without people making donations and contributions, without staff and volunteers showing up each day, Cherry Street could not fulfill its mission. The links below are here to help you find the information you need to help us do what God placed us here to do.
