New Life Centers: Service Day 2/28/26
After immigration raids sent shockwaves through Chicago communities, Immanuel collected an Advent offering to support New Life Centers, an organization that provides wraparound support to the immigrant community in Chicago. Join us for a service day at New Life Centers’ Pan de Vida Food Distribution site: Saturday, February 28, 2026 from 8am-12pm. The volunteer crew is invited to an optional lunch to follow! Tasks will include greeting, bagging groceries, customer support and engagement, and stocking food and supplies. Children elementary-aged and older are permitted to join with adult supervision.
Migrant Ministry Team
Our Migrant Ministry team was born after the building connected to our former worship space opened a city-run shelter for asylum seekers in the summer of 2023. We have held outreach events and collected donations to meet specific needs of this community. While we are no longer sharing a physical space with this community, we retain partnerships with the local alderperson and help with periodic requests such as coat drives and one-off needs.
LYDIA Home Association is a Christian, nonprofit organization that has been serving children in Chicago since 1916. Their mission is to strengthen families to care for children and to care for children when families cannot. Their programs are meant to both serve youth in care and be a blessing to their local community.
Exodus World Service mobilizes the Christian community to welcome and befriend refugees. They do this by educating churches and individuals about the plight of refugees, connecting volunteers with refugees through practical service projects, and empowering people to be champions for refugees.
