Refugee Donations

WPC's Matthew 25 Committee is helping collect personal hygiene items for the Refugee Community Connection. You can drop off items during the week or on Sundays in the atrium. 

Refugee Community Connection is an all-volunteer Chicago based mutual aid organization that seeks to ease the transition of our newly arrived neighbors (refugees, asylees, and others forced to flee their home country) into permanent housing in the Chicago area, by providing resources, information, and household necessities through a personal connection with welcoming neighbors. We seek to supplement refugee basic needs not already met by professional refugee resettlement agencies and government services.

Mission is at the core of who we are. We have a passion for service, mission, and sharing the love of God with our neighbors here and around the world. 

A Just Harvest

A Just Harvest’s mission is to fight poverty and hunger in the Rogers Park and greater Chicago community by providing nutritious meals daily while cultivating community and economic development and organizing across racial, cultural and socioeconomic lines in order to create a more just society.

Good News Partners

Good News Partners is located in the North of Howard neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. Their mission is to end homelessness and hopelessness with everyone God brings to them – to foster justice, and build bridges of reconciliation. Their vision is to elevate those who are in need, and those who are without hope to God’s standards through dignified housing.

C24/7

C24/7 is a non-profit organization dedicated, through the power of Jesus Christ, to improving the lives of children and young adults in the North of Howard neighborhood by providing the necessary tools, security and environment for them to thrive economically, socially and spiritually. ​

Family Promise

Family Promise helps families with children in homeless situations return quickly to permanent housing. They provide shelter, meals, job search assistance and other support for families, while working to address the root causes of their homelessness.

2022 Youth Mission Trip

Our youth mission trip 2022 was to Centralia (WA). Several of our young people, along with a few adult leaders, spent a week in Geoff's hometown volunteering at the Lewis County Gospel Mission, Gather Church, and the Seminary Hill Natural Area. 

We were hosted by Harrison Square Presbyterian Church, who helped arrange these wonderful service opportunities for us.
