Hesed House


We are planning for our December 12 donation of food for our local homeless shelter, Hesed House.  If you can donate food and/or help transport food, please sign up online, or feel free to call Louise DeWig at 630-546-8272 to assist in signing up.  Monetary donations are also gladly accepted toward the purchase of food through the church, either by mailing in your donation, or through their giving platform online, designating the Hesed House ministry.
 
Thank you for caring for our less fortunate neighbors during this challenging year.

Matthew 25:35, "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. Vs 40 "... I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." 

We are so excited that St. Paul Lutheran is on a regular schedule to serve at Hesed House!  

​Look for information on sign-up sheets in the Ministry Opportunities book at the Welcome Center kiosk in our narthex (lobby). 
You may also contact Sonja Meyer for more information.

There are many different ways in which everyone can be involved in this ministry. 

First, pray! Pray for the broken hearted -- for the hurts of those whose only alternative for emergency shelter is to come to Hesed House. Pray for resolution in their lives. Pray that God's love will be shown through the food donations, through the hands that prepare the food, through the kind words, friendly smiles and service of those who volunteer to serve at Hesed House. Pray that volunteers will recognize when the time is right and give them the right words to share the gospel as a light of hope to those who have come to stay there. Pray that our congregation along with the 70 other area churches and other organizations which serve there will be blessed to accomplish their commitments.

Second, you may donate some of the food needed for the 200 dinners, 100 sack lunches for those who work or go to school and the 175 breakfasts needed for the commitment dates. We rely heavily on food donations, and also accept monetary donations to the St. Paul Hesed House Ministry. 

Third, please consider volunteering to serve if you are able -- whether it is actually working at Hesed House on our commitment dates, menu planning, food purchasing, whether it is helping to prepare certain foods ahead of time at our church or at home, or helping to transport the food to Hesed House.
