A group from Kaw Prairie goes downtown to serve twice a month at the Kansas City Rescue Mission, a Christ-centered relief, recovery and re-entry community for homeless men. It's located at 1520 Cherry in KCMO. On the third Sunday of every month we prepare and serve lunch at 1:00pm to the 40 residents and to any people on the street outside the mission. Groups of 8-10 work well including adults and accompanied children ages 6 and up. We're done between 2:30 and 3:00pm.
We also go to the mission on the following Saturday for Game Night. We arrive at 5:15 to help set up, fellowship with homeless men who come in for rest and a meal. from 5:30-7:30 we mingle and play various board games or card games: Scrabble,Yahtzee, Uno, Chess, Checkers, Dominoes.
