Providing help and hope in Jesus' name to those in need

The mission of the Hope Center is to provide tangible help and hope in Jesus’ name to all those who are in need. We believe God uses the circumstances of life to draw people to Himself. If you or someone you know would benefit from the assistance of the Hope Center, we are here to serve you and come alongside you in your time of need. We invite you to join us at one of our Hope Centers near you. Our volunteers and staff await you with open arms.

Our regular weekend hours are Saturdays:
9:30 AM–12:00 PM at the Rolling Meadows Campus, 800 Rohlwing Road, Rolling Meadows
9:00–11:00 AM at the Elgin Campus, 1000 N. Randall Road, Elgin
9:00–11:00 AM at the Crystal Lake Campus, 580 Tracy Trail, Crystal Lake

HELP

Join us by providing some key products for the guests who come to our Hope Centers. Products given by our church family in Rolling Meadows, Elgin, Crystal Lake, Chicago Cathedral, and North Shore will benefit the Hope Centers in Rolling Meadows, Elgin, and Crystal Lake. Donations given at our Aurora Campus will benefit Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry.

Your generous gifts will allow our centers to offer a range of food products and personal hygiene items.
