Care Chicago - New Covenant Church

The people of New Covenant Church in Naperville came through in a big way! We collected nearly sixty care packages for Englewood Family Outreach on Saturday, May 16! A big thank you to all who donated, wrote notes, baked cookies, packed boxes, prayed, and otherwise supported this effort. It was a tangible expression of Christ’s love for our neighbors on Chicago’s South Side.

The care packages provided a range of Covid-19 supplies (hand sanitizer, TP, disinfectant wipes, paper towels, etc.), food (mac and cheese, peanut butter and jelly), spiritual support (Bibles and hand-written notes of encouragement), and other items. EFO’s Daniel Bair delivered all the boxes, to the delight of many Chicago families. EFO seeks to restore communities by proclaiming Christ, training in godliness, and empowering the vulnerable. May He bless and encourage them (and us) in the days ahead.

New Covenant Church will be looking for more opportunities to make a difference among our neighbors amid the pandemic. As always, we invite your ideas and appreciate your support.

Feedback from Englewood Family Outreach

Our neighbors in Englewood have been so encouraged by the many care packages you helped make possible for us to deliver. One of our neighbors who was diagnosed with COVID said, “Thank you Englewood Family Outreach for always helping me to support all of us. Specially thanks for the Bible because now I can study the word of God again since someone took my Bible. I’m loving this new one… Thank you Jesus for every supply you send our way. Got more tears in my eyes… Heavenly Father God you continue to bless those who are obedient to you… Again thanks for the blessings… Yes we are encouraged they brought more tears of joy to my eyes.”

Thank you all for being part of this blessing to our neighbors!

Press on in Christ!
