MANY PARTS, ONE BODY
Our "Why"
At Many Parts, One Body, we believe in a simple yet profound concept: we are all connected, each of us a vital part of a greater whole. Inspired by the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Corinthians, we believe that all of us make up many parts of a single body in Christ. This isn’t just the basis for our mission, it is the driving force behind everything we do.
1 Corinthians 12:12 "For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ."
WHAT WE DO:
Providing Free Meals in Jackson County
Many Parts, One Body is a tax-deductible, 501(c)(3) charitable organization that collects donations and provides free meals to those in need. Our mission is to bring the community together and support those facing hardship. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we have been able to serve free meals to homeless populations, foster care facilities, shelters for single moms, Ronald McDonald House KC, struggling families in local school districts, and more. By donating time or resources, you can make a real difference in the lives of those we serve.
You Can Also Donate Here:
Your financial support will allow us to buy food to prepare for those in need. In 2025 our goal is to raise $50,000 and serve over 4,000 meals to the most vulnerable members of our community and folks with a similar mission. Every donation, no matter how small, helps us get closer to that goal.
Individual Meal Assistance
At Many Parts, One Body, we envision a world where every person has access to the resources they need to live a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life. Regardless of your circumstances, we are here to help. If you find yourself needing meal assistance, please feel free to fill out this Google Form and we will reach out to you as soon as we can.
