Christmas time volunteering
DH and I want to do some volunteering during the holidays. We live in the Lakeview area and would like to something that's not too far away from our area. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Ready for summer!
Re: Christmas time volunteering
My husband and I have been involved with the Cathedral Shelter of Chicago's Christmas Basket program for about 7 years now and we love it. You can "adopt" a family or senior for the holidays and provide them with gifts and/or you can volunteer to help distribute the baskets to the families. The shelter is located 1668 W. Ogden and all the familes go there to pick-up their baskets. They can use volunteers to check-in the families, manage the warehouse, load the baskets into cars, etc.
The program is run well and it really is focused on families in need. We have volunteered on the registration end as well (during the summer), and familes are required to show proof of income, birth certificates/medical cards for the children, etc.
You can find more info at http://www.cathedralshelter.org/volunteer/opportunities. Marilyn Knilans is the Christmas Basket program coordinator. If you have any questions or want more info, let me know.
