📦 Help us stock the pantry!

Sign up for a food drive by yourself, with your family, or grab a friend and do it together!

We make it easy—you collect non-perishable food, and we’ll coordinate the rest. Every bag helps keep the New Trier Township Food Pantry stocked for our neighbors.

📚 Have you ever considered helping a child learn to read?

You don’t have to be a teacher to make a difference.

Read with a child. Tutor a student. Help with homework. Build confidence. Or even read with kids AND dogs. 🐶📖

There are so many organizations looking for volunteers to support kids—including FORA, Reading Power, SitStayRead, Tutoring Chicago and more.

Not sure where to start? That’s what we’re here for. Reach out to the Volunteer Center and we’ll help you find an opportunity that fits you.

❤️ A little of your time can make a big difference.

We build community partnerships. ❤️

The Volunteer Center connects local businesses, schools, families, and community groups with nonprofits that need their help.

Whether it’s a corporate volunteer day, school service project, youth opportunity, or community-wide event, we make it easy to turn “We want to help” into “Here’s how.”

Have a group that wants to get involved? Let’s build something together.
