Monthly Sandwich Making to Support the Night Ministry
2025-12-21 11:15 - 13:00 | Union Church of Hinsdale, 137 S Garfield Ave., Hinsdale, IL, 60521, United States
If you are looking for a powerful way to make an impact, even with limited time, look no further. Part of the Night Ministry’s mission is to provide approximately 150 sack lunches monthly to children and families in need. This is where Union Church can help! Volunteering less than 2 hours of your time, you can be part of the team that buys, assembles or delivers these lunches. We pack on the third Sunday of the month after the 10:00 service, in the Dining Room. Just come on down, or sign up here.
This does not have to be a monthly commitment, sign up for the months that work for you.
Please keep in mind, this is a great family activity or a way to gather those service hours. Please refer to the Sign Up Genius link below:
