Collage of images from a community event with people engaging in firearm disposal activities at the Guns to Gardens event in Kansas City, Missouri, on November 7th. Participants are seen handling guns, working with machinery, and posing for a group photo under tents.

Our next Safe & Anonymous Disposal Event is being planned for Saturday, November 7, in Independence, Missouri, in partnership with the Independence Ministerial Alliance.

Volunteer training and participation will all take place on the same day, making it easy to step in and be part of the event. We are looking for 10–15 additional volunteers from our broader network to help supplement the host site team. Space is limited based on roles and safety needs, but we also need everyone’s help in sharing and promoting this event so more people are aware of this safe and anonymous disposal option.

Please click the link to let us know that you are interested and able to join us on November 7th from 8am-5pm as a volunteer: Click to Volunteer on Nov. 7th
