Join us in making a direct impact on food security in Kansas City! Phoenix Family has recently partnered with Nourish KC to receive food donations to our senior communities in Kansas City. We are looking for volunteers to help us sort and deliver these large donations and distribute the food to community residents.

Here's What A Typical Shift Looks Like:

  • 11:30 AM - Arrive at a senior community in the 64127 zip code.

  • 11:30 AM - 11:45 AM - Unload food from the Nourish KC truck.

  • 11:45 AM - 12:15 PM - Sort and organize food donations.

  • 12:15 PM - 1:30 PM - Assist staff with delivering donations to local communities.

Additional Details:

  • Volunteers who can transport donations to senior communities within 15 minutes of the drop-off location are especially encouraged to apply.

  • If you’re unable to drive, you can still help by loading donations into delivery vehicles.

This opportunity is perfect whether you're looking to volunteer once or on a recurring basis. Your time and effort will help ensure food reaches those who need it most.

About Phoenix Family

Location:

Mission Statement

Phoenix Family empowers people living in low-income housing communities with the on-site support they need to gain stability and achieve self-sufficiency.

Description

A stable, safe home holds enormous possibilities for a low-income family striving to chart a more secure and hopeful future. With an average household income of just $11,743, Phoenix Family’s residents are often just one crisis away from becoming homeless. And, like millions of low-income individuals across the United States, they need more than housing to build personal and financial assets and overcome barriers to success - they also require services where they live.

Volunteers are vital in helping Phoenix Family reach our mission of helping people and changing lives. Last year, we received support from more than 350 volunteers, but even this is not enough to meet all the needs in our community. Whether you are looking for a seasonal or regular opportunity as an individual or a group, Phoenix Family offers a variety of volunteer opportunities to help our community.

Phoenix Family’s Youth Development, Families First and Senior Empowerment Programs provide those critical on-site services that help residents learn skills and gain perspectives that keep dreams of stability and hope realities for the future.

Phoenix Family’s staff and programs rely on trust, rapport, choice and convenience to engage residents in services. All services delivered are culturally appropriate and based on the desired outcomes of residents, including increased disposable income, increased educational levels, improved health, and strengthened social networks.
