You are a Return of the Living Dead Zombie. You were brought back from the grave by exposure to 245-Trioxin. You crave the heavenly taste of spicy brains to stop the pain of being dead. You are virtually indestructible, as even burning you up will create Zombie Rain and raise more zombies. Take this quiz!
October 2009 Kansas City Zombie Walk food regulations.
For the past 3 walks we have collected food for the Bishop Sullivan Center. The Bishop Sullivan Center has been very kind but it is now time to donate our efforts to the people that need it more than anyone can imagine. For this October's this walk we will be donating all collected items to the Uplift Organization. This organization was founded in 1990 for the sole purpose of helping the homeless with basic necessities and is run strictly by volunteers and donations from the public.
We will be serving a population that has no home and lives in homeless camps. The Uplift Organization visits Kansas City homeless camps once a week providing them with the basic necessities of life such as canned foods, clothes and basic hygiene products.
Providing necessities to this population “ups the anti” on what we bring to the table as far as donations. I know it is simple to go to the store and buy 5 cans of corn, green beans, spinach, etc., but these people will have to be sustained with the food items we bring. The following is a specific list of food items the Uplift Organization needs the most.
CANNED FRUIT (this item is what they lack severely, you can buy canned fruit or the 4 packs of smaller individual fruit cups which is preferred).
BEEF STEW
SPAM
CANNED PORK AND BEANS
CANNED PASTA
CANNED CHILI
CANNED TUNA/CHICKEN
CANNED SUASAGES
Uplift has to pay for the below items out of their budget to ensure the homeless population have these basic hygiene necessities. Again, I know they cost a little more but you can still find this stuff pretty cheap at the dollar store.
DISPOSABLE RAZORS
INDIVUDUAL WET-ONES
TOILET PAPER
MINI MENS DEODERANT
TOOTH PASTE/TOOTHBRUSH
When purchasing food think of something that would basically be a meal that does not spoil, requires no microwave to fix and could be opened and cooked over a fire. If you were homeless wouldn't you like to have just that one meal that actually give you sustenance versus corn and green beans each night for dinner?
You can get a complete list of donations the Uplift Organization will take, however, I want to encourage you to refrain from bringing the clothing and misc items on the list as this will make collecting a little more chaotic. We are walking for hunger not for warmth.
Upon arrival at the JC Nichols Fountain on Saturday October 10 please look for the Uplift truck and bring your items directly to the area and sign in. We will be gathering an hour early as usual so that everyone can get “gored” out and all items can be collected. We will walk at 3 PM.
We are offering dance lessons 4 different times throughout September in case you want to participate, please see our events for each date the dance is being offered. Each class is 2.00 per person per class. All proceeds will go to the cost of renting the establishment and items for Uplift.
You can also get your own copy of the flier to print out and distribute as necessary by visiting the below links. I want to strongly encourage you to print some (even a few) off and hand them out to friends/establishments to help spread the word!
If you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding your inability to provide any of these items but still want to participate in the walk please contact me at

I look forward to a large turnout and some delectable looking zombies and mini zombies for this falls walk!
What is a Zombie Walk you ask?
Simple: A bunch of zombies walking the streets of a city. Be creative in your zombie clothing,there have been many types, jesus zombie, santa zombie, marilyn zombie, nurse zombie (those are ALWAYS hot!) etc. The location of the walks have not yet been designated but hopefully we will have a nice area soon with many unsuspecting citzens with good brains to eat and lots of bloodshed!
