Faith in Action
St. Paul’s is dedicated to giving our time, talents, and resources to each other and the neighbors God has given us.
FEEDING THE HUNGRY
Roberti House Food Prep.
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.
C.O.O.L. Food Pantry
The 4th Sunday of every month we collect a special offering for ELCA World Hunger and our local COOL Food Pantry. You may also drop off donations for the food pantry at any time at church, but if you have perishable items take them right to the pantry at
800 W. Glen Flora Ave. in Waukegan. Hours: M-F 10am to 2pm.
MISSION ENDOWMENT
The church’s Mission Endowment Team meets quarterly designate donations to the congregation, locally, nationally, and globally. You can donate directly to the
Mission Endowment Fund to support this work.
SUPPORTING EDUCATION
Waukegan to College
St. Paul’s is a longtime supporter of this organization. Look for opportunities in the summer to give to the annual dorm shower for graduates going off to college. Visit Waukegan to College’s website for other volunteer opportunities.
Whittier School Partnership
As a good neighbor to Whittier School, which lies across the street from the church, we sponsor a Little Free Library and volunteer to mentor children at the school. Speak with Pastor or the church office to learn more volunteer opportunities.
To donate books to the library, you can drop them at church during normal office hours.
CLOTHING THOSE IN NEED
Clothes to You
Clothes to You is St. Paul’s own ministry that offers free clothing the first Saturday of the month from 9:00am to 11:00am.
(except for January & February).
We appreciate if your clothing donations can match the current season (donate winter items in the winter, and summer items in the summer) as we are limited in our storage capacity and like to offer the types of clothing that are currently in need.
We are always in need of men's jeans. 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.
Because our space is so limited, we can only accept clothes and shoes. We are unable to take other items such as toys, linens and blankets. We simply do not have the room! Please consider donating your other items to our partnering thrift store, Loved Twice Thrift Boutique or any other charity store of your choice.
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).
