Worksites
Our service projects in Kansas City span both Kansas and Missouri, working with local agencies like Neighbors Helping Neighbors, Hope Builders, and Presidential Highfields to assist low-income and elderly residents. The majority of our sites involve hands-on work projects, including:
- Minor home repairs: painting (interior and exterior), drywall, and wood rot repair
- Yard work: extensive cleanup, landscaping, and maintenance
- Building and repairing wheelchair ramps
- Supporting social agencies like food pantries and pregnancy clinics
- Working with Upper Room, where volunteers help children with reading, arts, and crafts
Many of the work sites require Troubleshooters for major repairs. If you have skills in home improvement, let us know! Over the years, we’ve been blessed with a variety of meaningful projects that make a lasting impact in the community.
