Liberty Work House
The leadership within the LRP takes great pride in thinking outside the box and feels this innovative idea will help channel positive energy into our local community, resulting in liberty minded changes throughout the Kansas City metro area.
By summer of 2009 we plan to obtain, through purchase, donation, or lease, a facility that will serve the following three functions:
-
House 5-6 volunteers – rent, utilities and food included
-
Provide office and meeting space for the LRP, storefront for our screen printing business (discussed later in document).
-
Provide office and meeting space for any or all community groups
Volunteer Housing
There are many individuals across the nation struggling to eat and pay their rent while they fight to restore The Constitution in these United States. LRP realizes that this causes inefficiency for our movement and sought to provide a solution. Through donations and the income provided by our t-shirt store, we plan to house 5-6 volunteers who will dedicate 30 hours per week toward the Liberty Restoration Project.
Positions to be filled from within the Liberty Work House
Executive Director: Oversee the operation of the Liberty Restoration Project, strategic planning, fundraising, research, supporting all other volunteers in all the projects they are working on.
Assistant to the Director: The Assistant to the Director will help the Executive Director with a variety of administrative functions. Including but not limited to, maintaining a volunteer, supporter and donor database, helping with phone calls, and working on a variety of projects and events.
House Parent: The House Parent will be responsible for the routine operations of the house. This will include making sure the volunteer and public food pantries are stocked, overseeing volunteer schedule of daily, weekly and monthly duties (such as dishes, cooking, cleaning, etc..), oversee the community garden, maintain the meeting room schedule, and various other duties.
Other existing volunteer positions: Possibilities include Director of Community Outreach, granter writer/fund raiser, someone to run the screen printing business under our Director of Marketing, anyone that is willing to fill a current void!
Volunteer Recruitment
Volunteers will be recruited from all across the nation. Over the course of the past two years some very talented, motivated and driven leaders have emerged. Many of them would likely be interested in a situation where they can dedicate their energy solely to this cause without having to worry about the cost of survival.
Volunteers will be expected to
-
Make a one year commitment to volunteering in the Liberty Work House
-
Work thirty hours a week for the Liberty Restoration Project(one whole week off every three months)
-
Be willing to help out in all areas of operation as we learn and grow
-
Agree to and abide by a list of mutually agreed upon “house rules”
LRP Distributors Store front and operations
Inside our Liberty Work House we would like to run our screen printing business. This will include: screen printing, packing, shipping, and sales. This will likely be run by a resident in the house with the aid of other volunteers.

We would like to provide the community with a resource library including informational DVDs, books, pamphlets, etc… Any organization would be welcome to contribute their materials and specific items would be for check-out only. We would like to include a video viewing room for people to plan documentary viewings, etc….
Food Bank/Clothing Closet
We know times are going to get tough very quickly and we want to make sure our fellow patriots are cared for. We plan to open a food bank and clothing closet made available to our members and supports to take care of emergency needs. We will be networking with all area support systems, such as food pantries and transitional housing organizations to make sure we can find immediate help for those in need. We would like to start a network of people willing to care for a patriot in distress.
Community Garden
On our facility we plan to have a large organic community garden. This garden will serve several purposes.
-
To feed the residents of the Liberty Work House
-
As a training ground to show others how to grow their own food
-
As a place for local food banks and homeless shelters to “teach a man to fish”
Other foods obtained for consumption by our volunteers will be purchased by local companies such as Farm to Market Bread in an effort to support the local economy.

Inside our Liberty Work House we would like to facilitate the logistics of our Food Storage Co-Op. This will include a place to store the materials, a place for volunteers to construct our storage buckets, and a place for members of the Co-Op to come and obtain their food. This will likely be run by a resident in the house with the aid of other volunteers.
