FREE VIRTUAL PROGRAM | Care and Compassion to the Homeless

Join us to hear Kathy Dean share the story of Uplift - how they started, how they have grown, and how they continue to carry out their mission today. Uplift delivers and provides the homeless 2-3 times a week with a fresh meal, beverage, and goods; such as weather appropriate clothing, tents, and pet food. These large vans travel several designated routes through the Kansas City metro in all weather conditions, hot or cold; the need never ends. There is an estimated 1,800 people that are homeless in Kansas City alone.
