Volunteer Opportunities
Our Savior Lutheran Church in Carol Stream needs volunteers and food donations for the Breakfast with Baby ministry on December 15 & 16.
It will be a fun and festive time with live music to get everybody in the Christmas spirit! People who are interested can sign up here.
Breakfast with Baby is a faith-based ministry for babies up to 36 months old and their families in Carol Stream and surrounding communities. Through a volunteer core and donations from the community, the program strives to meet the essential physical and spiritual needs of economically disadvantaged families. Breakfast with Baby distributes new and gently used baby items to struggling young families. On the third Saturday of each month, Breakfast with Baby provides families in need with a healthy breakfast, diapers, baby wipes, clothing, baby accessories, and a faith connection. Through a demonstration of Christ's love for all, Breakfast with Baby supports the well-being of growing families. Ultimately, the community strengthens and becomes healthier.
