Waukegan to College Dorm Shower

**Saturday, June 28 at 10:00am**
Spring has sprung! The Mission Team is making plans for the Waukegan to College dorm shower, an annual event to celebrate and support the graduates of the program who are heading off to college for the first time in the fall.

We will welcome 37 students and their families to St. Paul’s for a continental breakfast and gifts that will make the transition to dorm life easier. We are happy to be partnering with St. James Lutheran Church in Lake Forest again this year.

We are collecting items now through June 26 if you would like to donate. Click here to donate items from our gift registry on Amazon.

If you would prefer to purchase the same or similar items at a different merchant, please let us know by contacting the office. We will also gratefully accept cash or checks (made out to SPLC) which should be given directly to Pat Ludwig or Betsy Fletcher.

Your continued and generous support for this important program is greatly appreciated. Please contact a member of the Mission Team if you have questions.

Blessings,
Mission Team

St. Paul’s is dedicated to giving our time, talents, and resources to each other and the neighbors God has given us.

Meals for Roberti House

Each Wednesday morning we prepare meals for the people who visit Roberti Community House in Waukegan. We are always looking for more helping hands. Check the calendar on Happenings for the meal prep times or contact the church office for more information.

Give Online

All donations are tax deductible.

**Clothes to You**

Clothes to You has a monthly giveaway every first Saturday of the month from 9am - 12pm. (except for January & February)
The volunteers deeply appreciate the many donations recently received for the monthly Clothes to You giveaways. We have had so many donations we are literally bursting at the seams!

Because our space is so limited, ***at this time we can only accept summer clothes and shoes.*** We are unable to take other items such as toys, linens and blankets. We simply do not have the room! We hope to begin to take winter clothing items after our August giveaway. We will also be having a coat giveaway in October.

***We are also in need of men's jeans.*** Jeans are in high demand and those items are few and far between.

Thank you again for keeping this ministry well stocked!

**Donations can be dropped off at the church before or after worship or by calling the church office to arrange a time to drop-off your donations.**
We need volunteers! Please contact the church office or come to the next sorting day, as listed on the calendar (click on the Happenings tab).
