CURRENT SERVING OPPORTUNITIES

Join Kingswood at Feed My Starving Children in Libertyville on Saturday, November 15, from 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm as we pack meals to help fight world hunger and bring hope to children in need. FMSC provides nutritious, hand-packed meals that are sent to partners around the globe to feed the most vulnerable. After serving together, we’ll continue the fellowship with dinner at Culver’s down the street—all are welcome!

This November, we are partnering with the West Deerfield Township Food Pantry to provide essential food items to families in need within our community. Throughout the month, we invite you to donate the items below. Your generosity will help ensure that every household has access to nutritious meals. Donations can be dropped off at the Deerfield Campus.

Do you love gardening and enjoy seeing the flowers starting to bloom around the building. Then please consider joining the WeedFolk team. The area around the Buffalo Grove campus has been divided into areas and each area needs a volunteer carer. Each volunteer can set their own schedule. Some members have already agreed to continue caring for an area they adopted in prior years, and for them we give thanks. Other areas are still in need of adoption. Interested in helping at Buffalo Grove please contact Sue Entwistle at (224-612-2967, entwist@aol.com) or see me between services. An aerial photo of church showing the various areas will be on display in the Fireside room, starting Sunday April 27th along with a sign-up sheet.
Let’s keep the grounds looking beautiful and inviting.

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 (NB) Thrift Store is an on-site shop next door to Kingswood at Manna House on the Buffalo Grove campus.  The NB Thrift Store has a dual mission: to give back to Kingswood by raising funds for its ministries, and to give back to the wider community by offering a financially accessible, welcoming place to shop.
