Join Heartland Tree Alliance to plant trees throughout Kansas City! Trees slow traffic speeds, filter air and water pollutants, and provide shade to cool the rising temperatures in summer. Over time, trees help slow climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the air, storing carbon in the trees and soil, and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.

When you plant a tree, you leave a legacy for generations to come!

Volunteers wrap diaper packages, fill monthly orders for agencies and hospitals and complete other tasks as requested.

Wrapping diapers includes taking diapers out of boxes/bags, counting, bundling together, wrapping with a machine or with plastic wrap and attaching labels. Filling orders includes placing diaper packs in bags/boxes according to order requirements. 

There will be light cleaning, sanitizing, recycling and disposing of trash created during the shift. Time will be allocated at the end of the shift to take photos, provide us feedback about your experience and celebrate what you accomplished!

All hands matter as we work day in and day out to serve 700 children along with their families 5 days a week. We strive to ensure clean and safe spaces while we provide all types of resources for our families.  Volunteering is a great opportunity to come alongside us to build relationships and leave a meaningful and long lasting impact on our children, parents, and staff members.  We hope you will join us!

Sort incoming donations! Inspect each donation for quality, including looking for rips, stains, chips, tears, and any other defect. Sorting will often work with other departments including sewing and woodworking to ensure that as many items as possible are kept out of the landfill by repairing, repurposing, or recycling. Sorting also saves donations that Flourish cannot use for partner agencies that can best put those items to use.
