Lazarus Ministries

The mission of Lazarus Ministries KC is to offer unlimited compassion while providing for the unmet needs of Kansas City’s urban core. We bring hope and opportunity to those in need and work toward solutions for homelessness and food insecurity.

Hillcrest Transitional Housing

Hillcrest Transitional Housing has a proven method to move individuals and families from homelessness and to self-sufficiency. Hillcrest serves over 1,020 children, individuals, and families each year through its five residential sites in Johnson and Wyandotte Counties in Kansas and Jackson County in Missouri.

Festival of Sharing

The Festival of Sharing is a cooperative response to world hunger, poverty, and injustice. These concerns motivate our actions to raise awareness of the causes and generate solutions. Our goal is to promote and support projects and programs by providing funding and resource goods. When people of faith come together and share, we can make a positive and powerful difference in the lives of people in need.

Harvesters

Harvesters provides food and related household products to more than 760 nonprofit agencies including emergency food pantries, community kitchens, homeless shelters, children’s homes and others. We also offer education programs to increase community awareness of hunger and teach about good nutrition.

Electronics Recycling Event

The Electronics recycling Event is a community driven mission, held once a year at Lake Lotawana Community United Methodist Church. The event has helped over 400 cars full of used electronics, appliances, batteries and many more items find a safe home for their unwanted and recyclable items. LLCUMC has offered this mission for over 10 years and it grows by the 100’s every year.

Mason School Elementary

Mason Elementary has been known in the past as a lake-community school, with many generations of Lake Lotawana residents passing through its doors. Although the Mason Elementary School attendance area is large and has expanded to include many new neigborhoods, we have managed to maintain the small-town community-school feel at Mason.

ReStart

ReStart provides services free of charge and helps approximately 400 people each day through prevention, outreach, shelter, transitional housing and permanent housing. We address barriers to housing by providing a number of core services including case management, street outreach and employment services. We also help people from all life experiences exit homelessness through a Housing First Model.
