Some 400 volunteers have signed up to help respond to the coronavirus pandemic through the COMMUNITY Cares program of Community Christian Church.

Teams are helping in the following areas: collecting donations; addressing food insecurity; supporting essential service employees; running errands for seniors and others who are at risk; providing home schooling support for parents; addressing homelessness; supporting the incarcerated at a mental health correctional facility in Joliet; supporting the lonely and isolated; forming prayer teams; sewing masks;
