A good example occurred on a recent day with students from Rockhurst College Katie Moehlenhof, Libby Loomis, Kelly Herbst, along with "independent volunteer" Derek Gunner. Participants in a non-profit course at the college, the students and Derek helped with the MLM Commodity Program for Senior Citizens, always a busy day.

Some of our current volunteer opportunities for young people:

• Make non-perishable and/or prepackaged meals for the homeless
• Collect new/used clothing for homeless adults (socks, underwear, sweat shirts, shoes and etc.)
• Hygiene kits (tooth brushes and paste, shampoo, deodorant, bar soap)
• Collect back to school supplies
• Collect blankets and warm coats for the winter
• Stocking food pantry
• BQ for the homeless (hot dogs, chips and cold drinks)
• Collect food coupons

This type of assistance is beneficial for both the volunteers and MLM. For additional information on these and other opportunities, contact MLM at 816-931-0027 or info@mlmkc.org.
