Service Project: Help the Homeless

We hope you can join us for our last service project of the year.  Come learn about how a homeless shelter in St. Charles, called Lazarus House, helps those in our community who are facing tough times. We will then make 20 sack lunches for those in need and walk them over to the facility (a 4-block walk) for a brief tour.

Please sign up to bring 1 or 2 items from the list below.  Bring enough of that item to make 20 lunches (i.e. enough deli meat to make 20 sandwiches).  Cookies can be homemade (please wrap individually) or store-bought.

The tour portion of this service project is limited to 17 participants due to the restrictions at Lazarus house.  If you are unable to sign up for the tour please let CRECHE Leadership know and we can repeat the service project in April.
