CURRENT SERVING OPPORTUNITIES

Join us on March 22 for two great opportunities to serve and support! From 9 AM to 11 AM, help sort and bag books at Bernie’s Book Bank (917 N Shore Drive, Lake Bluff) to provide quality books for underserved children. Book donations can be dropped off in the Youth Room at Buffalo Grove or the front office at Deerfield. Then, enjoy lunch and fellowship at Culver’s in Buffalo Grove at 11:45 AM while supporting the youth mission trip! Dine at Buffalo Grove or Northbrook locations anytime from 10 AM to 10 PM, and 25% of group sales will benefit the trip. Show the fundraiser flyer (printed or on your phone) for Kingswood to receive credit!

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.
