Mothers of a child under one year of age or expectant mothers who are at least seven months pregnant can come to Breakfast with Baby at The Salvation Army in Des Plaines. Once a month they are served a hot breakfast, receive encouragement from the Bible and from conversations with volunteers. They form friendships with each other while eating together and talking about their kids. But most importantly, they receive a free package of diapers and baby wipes for each eligible child.
Donations of diapers, wipes, gently-used or new clothing, books, toys, and other large baby items such as strollers, cribs, exersaucers, bouncy seats, etc. are needed to aid these families each month.
Volunteers are needed to help sort the baby items, and to help set up the "store" once a month.
*** Additional Description ***
Diaper collection for the Salvation Army Diaper Drive at the Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce event.
Volunteers will be paired with an athlete for the day and take them to their different events. The events can be on the track, participating in walking, running, or wheelchair events. The field they will be participating in is either tennis or softball throw. Volunteers are responsible for taking the athlete to their event and watching from the sidelines. Once they are done with the awards, they will come out, and you will take them back to our tent.

Join us and other fellow Kiwanis Clubs for the GoBabyGo Project! We will be building custom motorized vehicles for kids with Spina Bifida
*** Additional Description ***
Join the River Forest Oak Park Kiwanis Club for their signature GoBabyGo Project! For this project the River Forest Oak Park Kiwanis Club partners with the Illinois Spina Bifida Association and NuMotion, a mobilized wheelchair company.
Join us and other Kiwanis Clubs to help build motorized cars fitted for kids with spina bifida. The kids will come in person for their final fitting in the car and for a test drive! Help is needed for assembling the car, registration, lunch set up, and making trips to the store for needed parts.
If you can't stay the whole time, you can come in the morning and leave early. In the past, we helped in the morning until early afternoon. Most of the car building takes place in the morning and most kids/families come in the morning for the fitting.
