Get Involved
In order to take necessary precaution with the growing COVID-19 concern, we are suspending all in-house volunteer activities until further notice to limit the foot traffic in and out of our facilities. While we greatly appreciate your time and resources, the health of our volunteers, Guests, and staff are the top priority.
During this time, we are accepting prepared meals, catered meals, grocery donations, non-perishable goods, and monetary donations. Volunteers are to refrain from cooking inside our facilities. The best ways to continue supporting LPCS at this time are to:
1) Sign up to donate a meal (please email volunteer@lpcschicago.org to do so during this time).
2) If you are already on the meal schedule, please drop off your prepared meal on your schedule date. If this is no longer possible, please let me know!
3) If you would like to make a monetary donation to help cover the cost of meals during this time, you can do so here.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. LPCS is truly a community-based organization and we are incredibly fortunate to have the support of our generous volunteer base. Thank you!

Volunteer
Volunteers are the life line of our organization; we couldn’t serve over 500 individuals a year without our network of over 1,700 active volunteers. There is a volunteer at LPCS in some capacity 24 hours, 7 days a week! In 2019, LPCS expanded our services with two locations, creating plenty of opportunity for everyone to get involved.
Please note you must be 18 years or older to volunteer at LPCS. However, children of any age are welcome to accompany meal groups with the supervision of a parent or guardian. Upcoming orientation dates are listed below. For more information on individual and group volunteer opportunities, email us at volunteer@lpcschicago.org.
Upcoming Volunteer Orientations (Takes place at 1521 N. Sedgwick)
In order to limit the amount of people coming in and out of our building, we have cancelled all volunteer orientations until further notice. We hope to have them up and running again shortly!
