Tutoring
*Not currently available due to COVID For the past 20 years, we have provided a place for youth to receive help. These students between 2nd - 8th grade not only receive academic help but in many cases positive encouragement. Tutoring is typically offered on Tuesdays from 7:00-8:00 pm and Wednesdays from 6:30-7:30 pm. There is always a need for more tutors to ensure that there are no students left on the wait list.
Diaper Depot
In partnership with the United Way of Will County, our location provides free diapers and wipes for families in need. Volunteers can help bundle diapers, serve families on Sunday nights when Depot is open or donate products to help meet the need.
