CURRENT SERVING OPPORTUNITIES

We have a new volunteer opportunity for engagement in the Deerfield area! Join us on Saturday, July 25, for a fun and meaningful way to connect with our community at the Deerfield Farmers Market, where we will be meeting neighbors and sharing the story of Kingswood Church. Bring your smile and let’s make some great connections together! The volunteer shifts available are from 8:30-10:30 am and from 10:30 am-12:30 pm. 

Wheeling Township administers the Home Delivered Meals program (Meals on Wheels) for residents throughout the township. This program provides a nutritious, freshly prepared hot meal delivered midday, Monday through Friday.

Sign ups for July 2026 are CLOSED. Please watch this space for our February 2027 volunteer sign up calendar coming closer to that time. 

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 needs a volunteer to care for the space. Each volunteer sets their own schedule. Some members have already agreed to continue caring for the area they adopted in prior years, and we are so thankful! Other areas are still in need of adoption.  Interested in helping? Please contact Sue Entwistle (entwist@aol.com) or find her between services.  An aerial photo of the church showing the various areas will be on display in the Fireside Room starting Sunday, May 3rd, along with a sign-up sheet.  Please join us in keeping 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.
