CURRENT SERVING OPPORTUNITIES

February is Kingswood’s month for Wheeling Township’s Meals on Wheels deliveries. Meals on Wheels brings a warm meal to people who are elderly and homebound. Meals are picked up at the Lutheran Home in Arlington Heights at 11:00 am on delivery days.  

The Food Pantry at the Buffalo Grove campus provides food on an emergency basis to families and individuals from Wheeling Township, which includes surrounding suburbs.  Through the generous donations of food items from Kingswood and other community members, we are able to serve 40-60 families each week.

PADS (Public Action to Deliver Shelter) is a serving ministry of Kingswood Church, seeking to provide temporary shelter, meals, and support for our brothers and sisters without homes and housing.  We have opportunities to serve in both Buffalo Grove and Deerfield.

New Beginnings Thrift Store is an on-site shop next door to Kingswood at Manna House on the Buffalo Grove campus.  The store offers low-cost items to community members in need.  If you are doing some spring cleaning, consider donating items. We accept most donations as long as they are clean and in good condition. We do not accept florist vases, glassware, clothes, shoes/boots, books, or large furniture. Donations at Buffalo Grove can be placed in the bin in the cove near the coat racks. Donations at Deerfield can be placed in the labeled bin across from the sanctuary. You may also donate during regular thrift store hours from 9:15 am to 12 pm on Thursdays.
