Those in need are always standing in line, but not at Micah Ministry, where meals are served to them, along with items from the clothing closet. At Micah the needy are the guests, and we are the gracious hosts. 

If you can be there at 5 that is ideal, but please no later than 5:15 for job assignments. We recommend trying different positions to find your favorite: food server, beverage table, dessert cart, clothing pantry or bussing. Dinner starts at 5:30 and ends by 7 pm. It can be chaotic, but most volunteers find it very rewarding. On a typical Monday evening Micah Ministry serves 300-500 of Kansas City’s working poor and homeless. In November of this year, there were 625 guests one evening!

KINDNESS REMINDER:  Micah Ministry welcomes a diverse population, and when we volunteer there we are asked to always be kind and gracious hosts.  If you encounter a situation where someone is not being kind, or you don’t know how to manage the situation, please come find Sharon Cantrell, the Pastor for Micah Ministry, or myself.  

AGE RESTRICTIONS: Because only basic screenings are given for our guests, there are rules to keep volunteers safe. Children 12+ are allowed to work alongside an adult. Those over 16 may volunteer solo.

DIRECTIONS: The Church is located on the south side of Independence Blvd in a light, blocked stone structure with large pillars. The parking lot is behind the church and another is across the street on the east side. Walk in the back entrance of the building inside the fenced parking lot, where the Security Guard stands. Go down to the basement, through the kitchen, and into the dining hall.  As you enter the dining hall doorway the name tags will be immediately to your left. Please make yourself a tag and add SERVEKC so we can find each other easily.

 I usually work in the men’s clothing closet, but Kay will be acting as co-host, and she works out in the dining area.  Please find us if you need help, or any regular volunteers can help with a minor issue.  Thanks for volunteering, we hope you find it a rewarding experience!
