We had some guests stop by our “trunk” yesterday morning at the Care Center to receive some sweet treats! It was so fun seeing our guests and volunteers dressed in fun costumes. 🍬🍭🍫

Our Care Center volunteers have such incredible hearts for service, whether they are interacting directly with guests or serving behind the scenes! Every year, our Tuesday and Thursday morning volunteer teams host a drive to collect specific items for the Clothing Store. Between the two teams, 257 pairs of brand new pajamas were donated. Because of their generosity, 257 children will be able to sleep in warm, fresh, clean pajamas.

Thank you, Tuesday and Thursday morning volunteers! We are so grateful for the many ways you serve and bring our values of dignity, hope, and transformation to life.

Fresh from the garden! 🌿💐

Our Care Center Garden not only contains produce that has been harvested for the Food Store, but herbs and flowers! This morning, our guests were able to select and enjoy fresh basil and floral bouquets in the Food Store. We love that we can provide our guests with fresh, quality foods right from our garden, as well as some fun surprises like fresh flowers!

Here we have the final, cooked versions of our Puerto Rican pasteles and Mexican tamales. These traditional dishes look very similar and are often made around Christmas, but contain different ingredients and flavors. Our Care Center staff had the chance to enjoy both of these dishes, which were cooked and provided by members of the team.

We are so grateful to be part of a church that celebrates diversity not just during specific heritage months, but throughout our ministries. One example of this is the inclusion of Culturally Responsive Foods in the Food Store: these are safe and nutritious foods that meet the diverse taste and needs of customers based on their cultural identity. This selection of spices, rice, beans, oils, and more are just a small and simple way to make our guests, many of whom are immigrants and refugees, feel welcome and at home.

As we wrap up Hispanic Heritage Month, a few of our staff members had the chance to share a piece of their culture from their respective countries of origin: Puerto Rico and Mexico. Check out how Mexican tamales and Puerto Rican pasteles are made!

Stay tuned for part 2 to see the final products!

Happy Hub Opening Day! Our staff & volunteers are ready to serve anyone in the Crystal Lake area this morning from 10 a.m.-12 p.m.

We are so grateful to every person who helped us get to where we are today, and we are so excited to see what God has in store for this Care Center Hub!

Yesterday we had the opportunity to show and share the first phase of what this Care Center Hub will be. The Care Center Hub features a Clothing Store, Care Team resources, Bicycle Shop, Furniture Showroom, local agencies, food to-go bags, haircuts, and more. This is just the beginning of what the Care Center Hub will offer: in the coming years, we plan to offer expanded services to reach more individuals across Chicagoland as we fight food insecurity and meet other tangible needs.

The Hub will be open on Thursdays from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. starting this week. Learn more at carecenterhub.org.
