The pandemic requires remote instruction for Chicago Public Schools students. Low-income families are desperate for computers for their children. You may have a laptop that you can donate, or even better, your company may have many laptops that can be put towards this need. We ask that you do not wait until November to help out, since the need is so critical now. See https://www.compudopt.org/chicago.

SESSION: Feed My Starving Children - Food Packing Volunteer

11/1/2020 8:00 AM - 11/30/2020 11:59 PM

Volunteer to help pack food for needy children around the world. New procedures permit work stations of 1 to 5 people, only. Yes, that means you can do all the jobs by yourself, if you’re game!

Otherwise people living together make the most sense for a group at any one station, so consider involving your family! Volunteer at one of the three Illinois sites (Schaumburg, Aurora or Libertyville) for a date in November: https://www.fmsc.org/get-involved/volunteer and when you create a group, include SIM as part of the name.

Construction projects in DuPage County have restarted, but only with a maximum of five workers, all of whom must follow COVID protocols for masks and personal distancing. All members of a work group must be at least 18 years of age.  See https://dupagehabitat.galaxydigital.com/need/detail/?need_id=541042 and follow instructions to create an account and register for a work day.  If you create a group, include “SIM” in the name.
