One Meal at a time

Name: 1200 SW Blue Parkway Lees Summit MO. 64063
Address: US

For more than 25 years, One Good Meal has been delivering meals to Lee’s Summit shut-ins and elderly. Monday through Friday volunteers serve up and deliver 130+ meals to those in need, regardless of their ability to pay.

Our Top Needs

Funding

Volunteers deliver over 130 individually wrapped meals weekdays at lunch. With the increase in number of individuals served, there is an urgent need to develop a steady source of funding.

Money donated goes directly to pay for a client's meal who otherwise cannot pay for themselves.

Drivers

One Good Meal currently has 12 routes with an average of 10-15 meals per route. Drivers need their own vehicle and are encouraged to engage in brief but friendly conversation with clientele.

Time commitment for one route per week is about 1.5 - 2 hours between 10:30am to 12:30pm.

Servers

One Good Meal relies on volunteers to prep and serve up the meals into To-Go containers, and ready the delivery containers.

Volunteer with a friend or bring in a group or organization such as scouts, mom's groups or corporate team to give back to the community.

Time commitment for one day a week is generally 1 hour between 10am - 11am.

Bakers

One Good Meal relies on volunteers to bake the 150+ desserts that are delivered with each meal.

Bakers bake, portion, and individually package cookies, brownies, or other desserts. Sugar free options are welcomed as well.

Bakers!

Love to bake but don't like to keep all of the extras at home?! One Good Meal is always looking for people to bake or make desserts to send with our meals. We need around 130-140 desserts each day, some of which need to be sugar free. Any number of desserts is helpful, we have a freezer to store any extras, for future delivery.

Bakers are asked to individually wrap their desserts in zip-top baggies (pies and cupcakes don't work so well) and bring them to Martin Lutheran Church during hours of operation: Monday - Friday 10am - Noon.
