Our Mission: Give, Serve, Love
We believe that God is for you and for our community! By giving to, loving, and serving others the way that Christ has loved us, we can champion individuals here in our community and around the world.
The FOR campaign is our annual generosity initiative, partnering with non-profit organizations we believe are doing incredible work. We support them through no-strings-attached generosity, and we encourage everyone to get involved! Your participation makes a direct difference in the lives of the individuals these organizations serve. There is a way for everyone to GIVE, SERVE, and LOVE our 2026 partners. Learn more below and take action to show you are FOR Kankakee County & Beyond!
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” Philippians 2:3-4
