MorningStar Mission depends on the volunteers who serve our guests, pack items for distribution, teach, counsel, work our thrift stores and more. We welcome individuals, families, and groups. Whatever your interest, talent, and time availability, we’ll help you get plugged in!
Fill up a tray with delicious food in our East Side Cafe and serve guests. Volunteer cooks are also always needed.
Help patrons at our Joliet or New Lenox Treasure Chest thrift stores find the items they need and help with intake of donated items.
Join us in cleaning up our communities. We organize events to enhance the appearance of where we live, learn, worship & play.
Each year, MorningStar provides complete holiday meals to local families for Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas — and we need your help to make it happen! Volunteer to help distribute food boxes or assist families in receiving donor-purchased gifts. Your time and care help make the holidays a special and memorable time for those we serve.
Back to School
Help kids start strong. Through Backpack Round Up, registered students receive a new backpack, hand sanitizer, and tissues. This program is available to all qualifying families in Will County and the Heritage Corridor. It’s a simple way to support kids in our community — and you can be part of it.
