Where can you help close the gap?

At Resurrection, we believe God is calling us to close the gap between where the world is and where the world should be. Here’s the thing… we can’t close the gap without your help. God uses communities of people who are willing to show up and make a difference in the world around them.

Are you ready to help us close the gap? If so, we have many opportunities to show up with your time, talent, and resources along with a simple process to get involved right away.

Backpacks for Hunger

At Resurrection's partner schools, 75-100% of students qualify for the free/reduced lunch program. These students depend on their school lunch and breakfast programs for the majority of their nutrition needs during the week but don't have this option over the weekend. Our Backpacks for Hunger program provides nutritious food to help students get through the weekend and return to school on Monday ready to focus on their schoolwork.

Volunteers serve one morning a week working one-on-one with students or less frequently helping with school incentive stores and other activities.

Community Garden

The Giving Garden is a new community justice initiative to grow fresh, organic produce. The produce from this garden will go to our Resurrection Food Mobile and our Overland Park Food Pantry and be given away as a tangible sign of love to those facing food insecurity. This garden is an exciting opportunity to come alongside Resurrection’s Vision 2030. We hope to actively close the gaps that exist between the world as it is today and the way it should be in our lives, across our community, and around the world.
