Outreach Open House – Come if you want to help, come if you need help!

Learn about non-profit organizations that are doing good work in your community! This free event is being hosted by St. Peter’s United Church of Christ in Skokie on Saturday, June 4 from 9am to 12pm. Get to know more about multiple different groups and what they do to support those in need. Find out how you can help or discover how you can benefit from their services.
