Mission Statement
Faith Acres Foundation helps YOU help others in need through prayers, relationships, health and finances. Faith Acres operates a Sharing Center Pantry and Community and Educational Farm offering free food, clothing and household items to everyone needing assistance regardless of race, religion, age or gender.
About This Cause
Faith Acres Foundation serves individuals and families in need through its Sharing Center Pantry services. Faith Acres is open to anyone living in the NW suburbs of Chicago IL five days a week. To respect the time and dignity of each person, appointments are made for our "guests" so there are never any long lines of people waiting for help. Along with tangible items, our "guests" are loved and encouraged as they face their financial struggles. Our "guests" are not just the project they are encouraged to be a part of the project. They can volunteer their time in the pantry or on the farm. They can re-purpose things they aren't using in their homes and donate them to make a difference in someone else's life. While not a requirement to receive services many of our "guests" appreciate the opportunity to give back and offer what they can for what they receive. It lifts their spirits and their self esteem. Our services become more of a hand-up rather than just a hand-out. The Community and Educational Farm provides an opportunity for families, youth and community groups to work on various projects in the spring, summer and fall months. Faith Acres grow vegetables and herbs using natural farming methods for the "guests" of the pantry. It's a great teaching and learning environment covering all the farming steps from seed to harvest.
