Project Share
Nov
21
8:30 AM08:30

Project Share

Project Share is an annual outreach event at North Sub in which baskets of Thanksgiving foods are assembled and distributed to families in need throughout the Chicagoland area. Sunset Foods provides the food for these baskets at cost, and once assembled, the baskets are distributed throughout Chicagoland by local partners of North Suburban Church.

This year, we need to raise $78,000 in order to assemble 1,440 baskets, each of which will feed a family this Thanksgiving! Please prayerfully consider donating to help us reach this goal!

This year’s Project Share will take place on Saturday, November 21st. We will gather at 8:30am to have a brief time of worship, hear from our local partners who are distributing the baskets, and receive packing instructions. After basket packing, we will close with worship and snacks.

To learn more about what the day of Project Share is like, see our highlight videos from 2023 and 2024.
