We are so grateful to St. Margaret's in Lee's Summit for hosting monthly food drives. Last week, Deacon David and Deacon Paul delivered nearly 500 pounds of food to The Market.

The Serve&Lift Market has a free choice model where neighbors like Dorothy can choose the foods they want. Not only does this make for a better experience but it dramatically reduces food waste.

It's here--our new website! If you haven't yet, check it out at catholiccharities-kcsj.org #CCKCSJ #ToServeandToLift #NewWebsite #WebsiteLaunch #CatholicCharities #CommunityImpact

You never know what you'll find at The Serve&Lift Market, like this "cucuzza" (pronounced "gagootz") we got in. It's a kind of zucchini that's popular in Sicily and is a big hit at The Market too. Erin says you can actually see them grow!

Suicide is an uncomfortable conversation. In this blog, Fr. Chris Alar shares how faith, mercy, and the Catechism brought peace after his grandmother's death by suicide. catholiccharities-kcsj.org/u…

All of our offices will be closed on Monday, October 12th for a staff training. We will be back open on Tuesday, October 13th. See you then! #CCKCSJ #ToServeandToLift #TerrificTuesdays

Heather Hughes and Erik Berg represented Catholic Charities of Kansas City-St. Joseph for the Senior Resource Fair in Cameron. Snacks and giveaways courtesy of Erin at The Market!

Hunter and Luke Kane have been volunteering with us as part of their service hours at St. Michael the Archangel. There are so many ways students can pitch in.

Sister Mariana of the Sisters of the Poor of Jesus Christ joined staff to discuss how a new program reflects our Catholic values and calls us to walk alongside our neighbors with compassion, hope, and respect.

Starting in October, the Serve&Lift Market at 8001 Longview Road will have new hours, opening earlier on Wednesdays, while also closing earlier. Hours for our other services and locations will remain the same. Come by and see us!

We hate food waste! So when Erin had a bunch of apple cores leftover from prepping some really tasty apple and caramel cups, the goats ate like pigs. #CCKCSJ #ToServeandToLift #HungerActionMonth #FoodWaste #FoodRescue #WasteNotWantNot #ZeroWaste #GoatLife

If Bishop Johnston says there's no better way to serve others than the Serve&Lift Center, who are we to argue? Although he decided to spend time volunteering at the Market, we have many, varied opportunities available.

Our staff met last month at Precious Blood Renewal Center for our annual retreat. We spent some time talking about the Center with Father Michael Volkmer. Learn more at pbrenewalcenter.org

We were at BoysGrow last weekend for their Farm Fest celebration, and we could help but get some food for the Serve&Lift Market while we were there. #CCKCSJ #ToServeandToLift #HungerActionMonth #FarmFest #BoysGrow #FreshEggs #FarmersMarket #LocalFarmers #FreshProduce

We were blessed by a large delivery of diapers from Mike Tesmer of the Knights of Columbus (and our Board of Directors). These were all from a diaper drive by the Knights Lady's Auxiliary and the Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Harrisonville.

We’re grateful to partner with the Missouri Lions Club in opening doors to greater access, independence, and opportunity through vision care. Together, we’re helping more neighbors see what’s possible. #VisionCare #EyeHealth #LionsClub #FreeEyeScreening #CameronMO #MissouriLions
