Upcoming Events
Phil's Friends
Tuesday, March 17th - 5:30pm-7:30pm
213 West Wesley Street, Unit 104, Wheaton
Last year, we made fleece blankets and donated them to Phil's Friends to support cancer patients. This year, we're going to join the organization at their Wheaton location to help them further! We'll help in a variety of ways, from possibly cutting and tying more fleece blankets, stenciling and coloring care package boxes, packing care packages and coloring their monthly Cards of Hope.

Feed My Starving Children believes that hope starts with food, and they rely on volunteers like us to help them provide lifesaving nutrition to children worldwide. We will be meeting at the Lisle Senior Center and traveling together to the Aurora warehouse. There we'll be packing meals alongside other volunteers. Meal are created by scooping Vitamins, Veggies, Soy, and Rice into labeled pouches. After that, we'll seal the bags and pack them into boxes to be shipped out. We'll also get a chance to hear a story of someone that's been helped by the meals.
You must be a registered LTWC member to join us for this project.

Recaps
Sleep Out Saturday
Saturday, November 1st through November 2nd
In early November, hundreds of DuPage County community members gave up their beds for a night in support of those who don't have the choice. We met at the bandshell, had a brief discussion about the event, and then traveled to the rally at College of DuPage to meet other participants. There we had freshly made soup and bread, heard stories about graduates of the Bridge Communities program, and learned more about what the organization does.
Together we helped a local family have a warm shelter and access to resources for 12 nights!
Special shoutout to Lucas C for being our top fundraiser!
​
If you weren't able to make it to the event but would still like to help, please consider donating on our Participant page. Any amount helps! You can find our page here - > SOS event website​

Everyday Volunteering
Feel free to volunteer using the ideas below, or come up with your own!
Letter Writing
There are many options for organizations/causes to write letters to. If you'd like to write a letter or make a card, please drop it off at the park district and we'll be sure to send it out for you. Whether it's one letter or a dozen, any would be greatly appreciated! Write inspirational quotes, tell them about your day, send them a story, etc. It's all up to you!
​
Military
Write letters or make cards for our troops to thank them for their service. These brave people give up so much to keep us safe. Let's show them we appreciate their sacrifice. These letters and cards will be given to Chaplain Heroes to distribute to troops around the world.
​
Senior Citizens
Many senior citizens feel isolated due to health concerns. This is an incredibly lonely time for many, so let's cheer them up and let them know we are thinking of them. These cards and letters will be sent to a local extended care facility.
​
Sole Hope
Write letters or make cards for people in Uganda receiving our Sole Hope donations! Many people in Uganda go without shoes and that leads to some painful health conditions. The recipients of our shoe patterns also love hearing from the people that send them! These letters and cards with be sent with our patterns donation to Uganda.
Litter Pickup
Though the weather has gotten colder, it's still nice to get outside and get some fresh air. If you go on a walk and want to help the environment, bring a trash bag and a pair of gloves with you. Pick up any trash you find and throw it away in a garbage can when you're back. Any little bit helps! Be sure to recycle if you can and stay safe!
House Cleaning
It's always a good time to clean up around the house. Spring cleaning doesn't have to stay in spring! Pick a small part of your house and sort through it. If you find articles of clothing, housewares, school supplies, or other items that you don't need but someone else could use, put it to the side. Ask your parents to donate the items to people in need. Helpful tip: Give the items to a organization like your local Food Bank, Homeless Shelter, or Animal Shelter. Many places are looking for specific items that will be very gracious for your donation!
