- Feed His Lambs is a local non-profit ministry that provides a weekly meal to residents of Bonner Springs and Edwardsville who are food insecure. Feed his Lambs assigns a week to each volunteer to make deliveries on Fridays. Currently, they are in need of volunteers on the second and third-week deliveries. Volunteer activities on these two Thursday evenings (6-8pm at the Bonner Springs Methodist Church) include packaging salads, fruits, and cookies; helping cook the casserole for the week; filling and attaching lids on the casserole pans. Individual meals are assembled at this time also. Delivery teams are also needed to deliver the meals on late Friday afternoon. Pickup of meals is between 4:30 and 5:00pm. Feed His Lamb uses Sign Up Genius to schedule/sign-up volunteers. Contact Deanna Delladio (our Volunteer Coordinator) to help sign you up. Feed His Lambs is also looking for a group of 10 or more people to prepare and assemble the second week’s meals. If your group is interested in performing this service to the community on a consistent, monthly basis please contact FHL by clicking here.
