We help our neighbors through a variety of services that strive to meet needs, offer opportunity, and provide compassion.

LAZARUS TABLE

Lazarus Table serves more than 10,000 meals every year to homeless and hungry individuals in the Kansas City community. We seek, not only to provide warm meals, but to offer a sense of community to our guests. Lazarus Ministries KC volunteers help to serve hot meals every weekend in a restaurant-style environment to ensure that our neighbors are always treated with dignity. A commercial kitchen operates weekly to prepare meals for Lazarus Table guests, and volunteers assist with preparing, serving, and cleaning up, and act as hosts and waiters to complete the restaurant experience. Providing dignity through meals furthers our mission of offering unlimited compassion. There are no lines at Lazarus Table!

LAZARUS BOUTIQUE

Lazarus Boutique continues the mission of providing basic needs with compassion. The boutique is open every Saturday, in conjunction with lunch, to provide items of need such as clothing, personal hygiene products, and household items. Lazarus Ministries KC volunteers serve as personal shoppers to ensure that each individual shops with dignity, finds the correct size, and receives what they need. Volunteers not only spend time with our guests, but they sort and stock donations for the boutique during the week. We are proud to be able to give a pair of shoes to a child, new underwear to a mom, or a winter coat to a homeless individual. Some of the things that we take for granted are items of need in our local neighborhoods.

THE SOJOURNER HEALTH CLINIC

Lazarus Ministries KC is in partnership with The Sojourner Health Clinic to provide outpatient care to our community members in need. Managed by UMKC Medical Students, the free clinic provides outpatient care to our community on Saturday’s in conjunction with Lazarus Table and Boutique. The students (with faculty supervision) provide acute and chronic medical care to those in need including services such as blood pressure monitoring, blood sugar testing, and medication dispensing, with an on-site physician available to see patients. Faculty physicians and resident physicians from Truman Medical Center East, Truman Medical Center West, and St. Luke’s Hospital are involved to supervise and support the students’ efforts.
