    Reclaim3d Banquet and Golf Outing To Invest In Our Communities

    This year, our goal for 2024 was to raise $50,000 for Reclaim3d locally so we can invest in our communities each month. We will provide 19 Mobile Food Pantries, back to school clothes for local kids, and help struggling families with rent and utility assistance.

    God showed up big time and we are over $72,000 and counting. Thank you to everyone who participated and donated to the annual Reclaim3d event!

    Big Give For Kids

    The Village cares about families and looks for opportunities to ease the financial burden of going back to school.

    The Big Give For Kids is a 2-day event (August 2-3) for kids to receive free gently used clothes, new shoes and socks. 

    Here’s how you can help 

    • Clean out your closets and donate the gently used clothes that don’t fit, or you no longer wear. There are designated collection areas at the Seneca and Coal City Campuses and a collection trailer at the Minooka Campus for donations. Please sort clothes by gender and size before you drop them off to help with the set up before the event.
    • Starting July 29 – help sort clothes for the event. It takes a couple days to sort through all the donations and set up for the Big Give and you can be a part of the team!
    • Help families find what they are looking for, help keep the donation tables looking nice and organized or hand out shoes  and socks on August 2 or 3.
