EAGLE PROJECT

What a great Eagle Project helping UPLIFT. Uplift is a program that helps the homeless. On the evening of May 31, 2018 Eagle Candidate Justin Lee had his Eagle Project at the uplift warehouse. The 13 people that went and took part worked on re-stocking shelfs, cleaning and assisting with preparing care packages for the homeless. It was a great evening and a rewarding evening. Uplift assist approximately 450 homeless people three times a week by going out in the community with four trucks that provide a hot meal, clothing and conversation with the homeless. There was a story told while we were there about uplift being able to put a fourth truck out in the community to help the homeless and how excited many were to be able to do this. But then they all thought about adding a fourth truck and recognized that this meant that the homeless population was growing in Kansas City and this is not a positive aspect.
