Stock the Storehouse - Holiday Serving

This year Willow Creek Church is impacting our community by "Stocking the Storehouse." Willow has a rich history of caring for our neighbors and reaching out to share the love of Christ within our community. This year we will challenge our congregation, friends, co-workers, and others to respond to the needs of children in our community who are under-resourced.

We will be collecting the following NEW items (unwrapped and tags on) for children ages 12 & under:
□ Hats
□ Gloves
□ Coats
□ Pajamas
□ Toys (under $25)

This is how it works:
From now until December 13th you and your friends can figure out creative ways to collect the items, like neighborhood parties, work parties, table group or small group, or whatever works for you. See: http://www.willowcreek.org/prepare/ for ideas.

Then on December 13th, 9am-3pm, you take your items to the Salvation Army in Carpentersville (Meadowdale Shopping Center - The old Big Lots store).

We are partnering with the Salvation Army in Carpentersville who will be our Dundee Crown Area dropoff point for these items and they will distribute items to children in need in our community. If you would like to help with item collection or distribution at the Salvation Army, sign up for at: http://www.willowcreek.org/prepare/opportunities.asp

Please consider donating the above items as we partner together to care for those in need in our community. Thanks for considering this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children this holiday season!
