Central Presbyterian Church, located at 3501 Campbell in Kansas City, MO, is hosting a volunteer safe surrender and dismantling event on Saturday, October 12 where folks can get rid of unwanted firearms without putting them back onto the street. This is not a buy back. Anyone can anonymously surrender their unwanted guns, which will be dismantled on-site, melted down, and fashioned into garden tools (or jewelry, artwork, etc.). A gift card for a grocery store will be offered as a token of appreciation for each surrendered firearm.
In addition to offering this opportunity to surrender unwanted firearms, we are seeking volunteers to help during the event in the following roles:
Greeters (welcome and explain process)
Firearm Inspectors (ensure guns are unloaded)
Shepherds (to accompany surrenderer through process)
Dismantlers (operate chop saws)
Runners (transport gift cards)
Counselors (on hand to provide emotional support)
Security (plain clothes, non-uniformed, no weapons)
Important Dates
Info Session - Tuesday, September 3 at 6:00pm
Volunteer Training - Monday, September 16 at 9:30am and Wednesday, September 18 at 6:00pm. (Volunteers only need to attend one training event, and a meal will be provided at each.)
