PACKING PARTY CAPTAINS: A quick tutorial, and you’re helping make sure meals for the hungry are being packed correctly! We always need adult supervision at youth packing parties, which are typically a 2-3 hour timeframe, including setup and teardown.  Most parties take place during evenings and weekends, are fun and fast-paced and a great way to volunteer.

BACKSTAGE PASS: Help us behind the scenes as we prep for packing parties. We need help sanitizing our funnels, bins, and scoops after each event.  Volunteer shifts are typically held weekday mornings at our HQ or warehouse location in Kansas City and can be as little as an hour or an afternoon, depending on your schedule.

MOBILE FOOD DISTRIBUTION: Every 2nd Wednesday of the month, the Franklin Center mobilizes food distribution for the neighbors of Kansas City, Kansas. Volunteers are needed from 12:15-3:45. Join us!

Snack Shack is a youth-run venture so your role will be to help the youth when needed. Some things you may be doing include, selling snacks behind the counter, stepping in to help resolve a conflict or playing referee for a rousing game of air hockey. Most of the time, you’ll be hanging out with the youth, playing games, helping with their homework, etc. In the rare emergency situation, we may have you step in as the adult and lead (we will provide you with emergency procedures). Our goal for the adult volunteers is to be a constant presence at the Snack Shack, whether you are volunteering once or twice a week or once or twice a month. Our hope is that each volunteer really gets to know the kids and engages with them in a consistent way.

We have great opportunities for grandparents to volunteer all year long in all areas of our ministry. Sign up below for more information!
