About Us

Uplift Organization is a mobile street outreach for the homeless of Kansas City.

Three nights a week, we take four Sprinter vans loaded with food, clothing, and other essential supplies out to the homeless. We meet them at parks, under bridges, at their camps, or wherever they are.

We typically serve 250-400 people each night and we never miss a night! Uplift was started 30 years ago in 1990. We are 100% donation-based and run completely by volunteers.

Uplift has no paid staff and is not affiliated with any particular church or religious organization. Uplift believes in the power of unconditional love and kindness. We welcome all people of good will to join us in this work!
