Our friends at A Turning Point in Gladstone, in a continuing effort to feed the hungry in their mission field, have begun a new partnership with Costco, and we have been invited to assist!
ATP’s box truck is dispatched for pick-up of food pallets at the Costco warehouse on Mondays at 1pm, and Wednesday and Fridays between 10am and noon. (Costco is situated in an ideal spot right near the intersection of North Platte Purchase Drive and Northwest 88th Street, in Barry Harbour, Kansas City.)
Drivers and “ride-a-longs” are needed at these times to add to their volunteer pool. There is a minimal amount of manual labor—mostly helping to unload the pallets with a pallet jack. The drive from ATP to Costco is about 10 minutes. The entire process usually takes less than two hours.
If you would like to participate, let me know (Pastor Rob), PUMC Trustees Chair Bill Schwartz, or email Executive Director, Cathy McIntire at cmcintire@aturningpointkc.org. You might also check out their website at www.aturningpointkc.org.
Here is another opportunity for you to participate in our mission of feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, watering the thirsty and giving hope to the hopeless—bringing the Kingdom of God closer to everyone.
“And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’”
