When school is out in the Kansas City area, many children lose access to nutritional foods they need every day.

In the Harvester's Service Area:

• 108,000+ children are food insecure
• 1 in 6 children are in danger of being hungry
• Only 58% qualify for federal nutrition programs
• 10% of children in Johnson County, KS are food insecure

You can make an impact by purchasing "Summer Staples" food donations and dropping them off at any Church of the Resurrection location on Saturday, June 19 from 9 - 11 am.

Or donate online!

We are excited to launch a no-cost mobile pantry and seeking to create long-term community relationships in food deserts in locations that there is not adequate access to healthy food options.

At this time we are evaluating areas across the city and working to develop a schedule. Our team of volunteers will be vital to the success of this program. The schedule may include a variety of days and times and it is imperative we have a good understanding of the availability of our key team of volunteers.

Our target timeframe to launch will be late summer. Your completion of this survey will put you on our email distribution list for regular updates. As we get closer we'll offer training sessions as well.

If you have an interest in an ongoing service opportunity please complete this survey to assist us in planning.

Take the survey.

Help sort, check and box donated food items to prepare them to be delivered to local pantries. This is a fun service project for small groups, individuals or families.

Where: Resurrection Mission Center, 15455 Metcalf Avenue. Click here for driving directions.
