These cold months are especially tough on the individuals of our community that are without basic needs like shelter and food. If you’re interested in helping out the homeless, then Uplift is a great place to start. Their mission is to acknowledge God’s providence and fidelity to his people, especially those in poverty, by dedicating their efforts toward the support of those who are homeless.
“Our goal is to deliver those basic human needs, care and compassion that are not usually received from other organizations.”
Here are some ways you can help:
Outreach:
Help deliver meals to the homeless. Uplift trucks “roll out” at 6pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. 5pm on Saturdays. The average route takes 4-5 hours. Please call in advance to schedule your participation. Contac Pat Thomson at 913-207-9391 or patthomson43@gmail.com
Prepare Meals:
Cooks are needed to prepare hot meals for the homeless. Each cook needs to cook enough for 60 people. If you would like to help, call or email Margaret Longstreet at (816) 739-4050 or margaretlongstreet@me.com for more information or go to our website at www.uplift.org.
Warehouse Sort Day:
9:00 – 12:00 p.m. The second Saturday of every month we sort donations, stock our shelves, fold clothes and have a good old time doing it! As we enter into our busiest time of the year, we are adding extra sort days. In November, December and January we will be sorting on the second and third Saturdays of these months. See Important Upcoming Dates. If you are planning on bringing a large group, please contact us first. Phone: (816) 241-0060 or Email: upliftorg@att.net.
Happy Volunteering!
