We’re proud to welcome you to the newly expanded Ark in West Rogers Park and in Northbrook.

Children and Families

All Ages are Welcome

Interested in learning more about family volunteering at The Ark?

The Ark welcomes volunteers of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds!

Bring your family or friends of all ages to a Family Volunteer Program. Volunteers will learn about The Ark, get hands-on experience volunteering to support our clients, staff, and programs. This is a great opportunity for an intergenerational activity. You will sort through donations from our community-wide Collection Drives that benefit our pantry programs, and work on other projects as needed.

  • Ages: Any
  • Time: One Sunday each month; 90 minutes – times vary
  • Location: Volunteer Hub & Pantry Warehouse in Lincolnwood
  • Additional info: Tasks can be done seated or standing and moving; adaptable for most physical and intellectual abilities and styles in an energetic environment.
