Pantry Partner Program
Our Hunger Stoppers team works to provide both supplemental funding and food to partner pantries throughout the KC area. This year, we delivered over 150 tons of food to 27 pantries. All of this was made possible through donations from within the church, special food drives, and monetary donations. With your help, we are bridging the meal gap for more than 430,000 people in our region.

Resurrection Overland Park Food Pantry
The Resurrection Overland Park Food Pantry helps bridge the food insecurity gap in our community. It takes 40 volunteer shifts to operate each week and is open Wednesdays by appointment. We are blessed to provide nutritious food to over 100 families each week!
Located at our Overland Park Location - 8412 W 95th St, Overland Park, KS 66212.
The pantry is open to appointments on Wednesdays between 9am-12pm and 3-7pm
Food Mobile
The Food Mobile visits food deserts in the KC area. People in these areas typically are low-income and have to travel farther to find healthy food options. The Food Mobile provides hungry people in the Kansas City area with fresh, nutritious food and a dignified shopping experience. Volunteers are needed to check-in guests, assist with shopping, drive, and re-stock the Food Mobile between stops.
Interested in volunteering with the Food Mobile? Fill out our volunteer application.
