Lazarus Ministries

Weston UMC partners with Lazarus Ministries in serving people in the inner city areas of Kansas City, Missouri.

Teams are organized from the church and sent to Lazarus Ministries to serve meals and provide clothing to those in need.

Lazarus Ministries was founded in 1996, serving 10,000 meals that first year. Over the past 20 years with the help of over 2000 volunteers annually, the services provided have grown significantly, going beyond providing food. To better reflect the breadth of programs, the name changed from Lazarus’ Table to Lazarus Ministries. Today, Lazarus Ministries’ services include a clothing boutique, free medical clinic, dental extraction clinic, and hair salon services.

United Services Community Action Agency of Kansas City

Throughout the year, Weston UMC also works with the United Services Community Action Agency of Kansas City to collect and distribute non-perishable food items and personal hygiene products to households in need in the Platte County area.
