UPDATE 6.22.2021, 3:35Pm

Hey church family and friends. What a day. Many strangers became friends, as we worked together towards rebuilding.

As of right now (3:29pm on 6.22.2021), 168 Church has turned in for the day. If you call St. Scholastica (7800 Janes Ave, Woodridge, IL 60517), one of our new partners and friends, they may be able to direct you towards the area the volunteers are currently working.

As of today, we do not have anything further scheduled. 168 Church will do it's best to be in communication with the city and with you to continue the process of restoration.

Thank you again for the water, work, and love you have for this community. We stand with you, Woodridge and all the areas affected.

Team 168

Ps. We will keep this page and our Facebook site updated.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANUP

  • Upon arrival at ARC, we will separate into groups of 3-4 people.

  • We will clean up front yards and sidewalk areas. Typically, we can leave garbage bags near the curb, on the grass for pick up. Be alert if instructions differ.

  • When we come across personal affects (e.g. photos, items…) please try to keep those separate.

  • Please advise: we will need permission from owners to help on private property (from sidewalk to the house). When possible, ask first.

If you need to reach anyone at any point, please call 630.557.6388 (John).

Thanks for all of your help. Your love is felt and so needed!
