During Project Share each year, we gather in our building to assemble large laundry baskets full of food for under-resourced families in the Chicagoland area. We distribute these baskets by partnering with about 13 local organizations that have direct contact with these families. Sunset Foods orders the food for us at their own cost. We plan to pack 1,440 baskets again this year!
We are pleased to announce that we met our $70,000 fundraising goal for 2024! Thank you so much to all who have pledged and donated!
We now turn our attention to getting the food into the hands of our ministry partners for delivery to families. Mark your calendars for these important dates:
Consider helping us with setup on Thursday, November 21 from 3-6pm.
Join us to pack baskets on Saturday, November 23 at 8:30am!

We are in the process of shifting our annual diaper drive for our Local Partner, Caris, from December to May! This year's drive will run from August 4th through September 1st. Next year's drive will take place in April/May of 2025. They are in need of all sizes!
Caris is an apolitical Christian nonprofit pregnancy counseling organization in the Chicagoland area. The ministry's unwavering commitment and mission is to help women and children thrive during and after unplanned pregnancy. Caris journeys with women and provides support from conception to age five.
Caris' licensed masters-level counselors offer mental health support to provide a safe space for women and couples who are navigating complex emotions surrounding an unplanned pregnancy.
Caris' clients receive free professional counseling and essential resources for moms, babies and children to help them become better parents and co-parenting adults. Additionally, clients are offered workshops, connection groups, and access to a host of community resources. The approach is unique: Caris serves by grace with love no matter what decision is made. We trust God to do the work that we are incapable of doing in our own strength. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
