Morning Star Mission Ministries

Our treasure chest stores (thrift stores) in joliet and new lenox provides opportunities for those in our programs to develop job training skills and provides emergency volunteers for families who cannot afford clothing or furniture.

Community outreach services include a drop in center, holiday meals, back to school supplies and christmas gifts. The drop in center provides a safe environment for those experiencing homelessness to spend daytime hours in a safe environment, locate resources for assistance with their challenges and speak with a case manager. The drop in center also serves as a warming and cooling center during the extreme hot and cold months. 10,568 utilized the drop-in center, 479 utilized the computer lab. There were 120 job referrals and 53 housing referrals.
