Hesed House – Donation Needs
December 3, 2020
This month we will be highlighting partners from our Under Resourced Impact Area. Hesed House is one of those partners and also is the second largest homeless shelter in the state of Illinois. They have worked hard to provide clothing, shelter and food to around 1,000 people struggling with homelessness annually. Hesed House believes that through providing these basic needs, people deserve to have their hope restored! But they also provide so much more than that.
COVID has impacted so many volunteering events! Hesed House recently temporarily suspended on-site volunteering. Fortunately there are still ways that people can help during this Christmas season!
Current needs for Hesed House:
| Urgent Needs | Medical Needs | Other Needs |
| Bottled Water | Medical Tape | Mouthwash (Alcohol Free) |
| Women’s Deodorant | Gauze Pads | Eye Drops |
| Razors | Adult Cold/Flu Medicine (Alcohol Free) | Antibacterial Soap |
| Ace Bandages | Financial Donations | |
| Antacids | Food | |
| Hand Sanitizer | ||
| Disposable Gloves | ||
| N95 Masks |
NOTE: They are not taking clothing, furniture, or household decorations right now due to COVID.
Christ Community Church also has Hesed House Serving Teams. These are temporarily on hold, but it is Christ Community’s hope to begin again as soon as possible!
