Humanitarian Service Project

This is our second year supporting the Giving Tree Program at the Humanitarian Service Project (HSP) in Carol Stream.  2017 was a great success.  This organization helps impoverished families living in DuPage County. We have the opportunity to brighten Christmas for 15 children and 10 senior citizens by purchasing gifts and books for children and needed items for seniors. HSP requests that all gifts be at least $25. Please see the bulletin board in the narthex for gift suggestions and a place to add your name. Thank you.

Annual Winter Coat Drive:  Oh, no! Already??  It's that time of year, and St. Luke begins its annual winter coat drive this coming Sunday. Please bring clean, gently used winter coats, scarves, hats and gloves to the bin in our Narthex, now through December 16th. All items donated will be delivered to the Humanitarian Service Project in Carol Stream this year. Ask family, friends, and neighbors to check through their closets, too! Last year we collected 30 coats and jackets and five hat/mitten combos. Let's beat that in 2018!

The Craft Fair at St. Luke was a great success.  We had 14 crafters, the fellowship hall was full and everyone said it was a great experience.  $720 was raised for St. Luke’s Good Samaritan Fund.
Thanks to all for participating as a crafter or helping with set-up and tear down.
