Hours of Operation
Tuesdays, 11am - 1pm Thursdays, 4pm - 6pm 2nd Saturday of each month (9am - 11am) 2nd Sunday of each month (11:30am - 1:30pm) About the Ministry The Church of the Cross PC(USA) Lilies of the Field Community Clothes Closet offers gently used and new clothing items free of charge to men, women, and children in need who live in the Hoffman Estates and Schaumburg areas. The clothes closet supplies free of charge. In connection with the PC(USA) Matthew 25 initiative, this ministry is based on Matthew 25:40, “…Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” The theme for our Community Clothes Closet “Lilies of the Field” comes from Matthew 6:28-29 “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you…” How to Volunteer We certainly need Community Volunteers to help with receiving patrons and washing / folding / sorting / hanging clothes. If you are looking for somewhere to volunteer a few hours of your time each month to help those in need, the Lilies of the Field Community Clothes Closet welcomes your presence and your help. Volunteers do need to go through an application process which includes providing information, having a background check completed, and references checked.
