Uplift is a homeless outreach program founded in 1990. They are a completely volunteer- run group that survives by donations and your personal commitment to feed and clothe the area’s homeless.
Their 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.”
A lot of what Uplift does is make and deliver meals to the Kansas City homeless population – and they always need help, so make sure to check out their volunteer webpage to find out more.
They are also currently looking for groups to come to the warehouse to make candles! If you’re interested, call 816-241-0060.
Happy Volunteering!
