Uplift is a homeless outreach program in Kansas City with the following mission: “We who acknowledge God’s providence and fidelity to his people, especially those in poverty, do dedicate our 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.”
Volunteers are needed to prepare and deliver meals as well as help in their distribution center.
Deliver Meals
Help deliver meals, clothing and necessities 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.

Distribution Center
9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. The second Saturday of every month they sort donations, stock our shelves, fold clothes and have a good old time doing it. All are welcome. This is an excellent service opportunity for elementary/high school students, youth sports teams and other organized groups. If you are planning on bringing a large group please contact first.
