Help at Micah Ministry, ***Volunteer numbers are low until Thanksgiving

***Please note:  If you want to help but have been putting it off,  we could really use you now. Volunteerism peaks during the holidays, unfortunately, that  means we are hurting for them right now.  Micah has only been able to open the clothing closet about half the time lately, so everyone of you is appreciated.  If you can spare some toilet paper, soap or socks to donate, even better!  I hope to see you there 🙂

Those in need are always standing in line, but not at Micah Ministry, where meals are served to them, along with items from the clothing closet. At Micah the needy are the guests, and we are the gracious hosts. 

If you can be there at 5 that is ideal, but please no later than 5:15 for job assignments. We recommend trying different positions to find your favorite: food server, beverage table, children’s area, dessert cart, clothing pantry or bussing. Dinner starts at 5:30 and ends by 7 pm. It can be chaotic, but most volunteers find it very rewarding. On a typical Monday evening Micah Ministry serves 300-500 of Kansas City’s working poor and homeless.

AGE RESTRICTIONS: Because only basic screenings are given for our guests, there are rules to keep volunteers safe. Children 12+ are allowed to work alongside an adult. Those over 16 may volunteer solo.

DIRECTIONS: The Church is located on the south side of Independence Blvd in a light, blocked stone structure with large pillars. The parking lot is behind the church and another is across the street on the east side. Walk in the back entrance of the building inside the fenced parking lot, where the Security Guard stands. Go down to the basement, through the kitchen, and into the dining hall.  As you enter the dining hall doorway the name tags will be immediately to your left. Please make yourself a tag and add ServeKC so we can find each other easily. The beverage table is just beyond the name tags, we will gather in that area until time to serve.
