When:   Wednesday, November 20th

Where:  HomeMade Pizza Company, 544 Lincoln Avenue, Winnetka

What:   Help the Volunteer Center Make a Difference!  Buy a pizza and HomeMade Pizza will donate a percentage of the profits to The Volunteer Center.  There’s no limit, so why not buy in bulk and fill your freezer with the freshest, healthiest — and yummiest — pizza on the North Shore!

Home Made Pizza will donate:

  • $5 for every large and deep-dish pizza
  • $2 for every gluten free pizza
  • 10% of every gift card purchased

Our goal is 200 pizzas for $1,000 in donations — so tell your friends!

Why:  This is an easy way to make a donation to your Volunteer Center, who makes a difference in your community by helping residents and service groups of all ages find meaningful ways to volunteer and engage in days of service.

And it’s a healthy, convenient way to feed your family too!

How:   Simply place an order online at www.homemadepizza.com or by phone at (847) 441-5550, and make sure you use the code HOMEMADEHELPS when you place your order.

  • You can place orders up to three weeks in advance for pickup on November 20th.
  • Both online and phone orders will count towards our goal — but you must pick up.  DELIVERY PIZZAS WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE DONATION.
  • On November 20th, show your paper or electronic voucher with the HOMEMADEHELPS code on it when you pick up your pizzas.
  • November 20th not a good night for pizza?  Buy several and freeze them for later — great to have on hand during the busy Thanksgiving week!

It’s the easiest — and tastiest — donation you’ll ever make!

THE LEGACY OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING LIVES ON, IN SPITE OF THE PANDEMIC

Our annual Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration looked a little different this year, but the Volunteer Center still found ways to honor his enduring legacy of social justice and service by sponsoring 2 Covid-safe community initiatives. First, we were proud to partner with HEROS (Healing Everyday Racism in the Schools) to engage the community in a thought-provoking MLK LEGACY Workshop that focused on Dr. King’s 1965 speech in Winnetka and the concrete steps we can take locally to create Dr. King’s “Beloved Community”. Then, in keeping with our tradition of engaging in service on MLK Day, the VC also invited volunteers from the community to participate in our signature DIY no-sew fleece blanket donation program for homeless shelters and refugees. Instead of working side by side, families made 50+ blankets remotely during MLK “Week” that were distributed to local nonprofits.
