Have a couple of free hours on Saturday the 24th?
We are excited to announce that we are hosting a sidewalk sale and we need your help! This is a great opportunity to get involved in your community, meet new people, and have fun while making a difference. We are looking for volunteers to assist with setting up tables and racks, keeping tables neat and stocked, guiding customers to the registers, and cleaning up at the end of the day.
No experience is necessary, and we welcome volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you can help for a few hours or the entire day, your time and support are greatly appreciated. So come out and join us for a fun-filled day of ministry focused community service!

About SOUTH SIDE MISSION OF PEORIA
Location:
1127 S LARAMIE ST, PEORIA, IL 61605, US
Mission Statement
Our mission is to proclaim Jesus Christ, and in His name love our neighbors and provide hope to the community through life-transforming ministries.
Description
IT STARTED WITH A VISION
IN 1925, A WOMAN NAMED HELEN HAIEN HAD THE VISION TO REACH CHILDREN FROM LOWER-INCOME FAMILIES IN PEORIA WITH THE LOVE OF JESUS.
She would go out, pick up children, and bring them back to her house on Sanger Street for an all-day Sunday School. The inhabitants of the area were not only economically disadvantaged, but had little hope of moving beyond their present physical conditions. Over the years, her Sunday School grew so large that she had to move out of the house and into a larger building on Olive Street. South Side Mission changed locations several times before building on the present campus at 1127 South Laramie Street in 1970.
While the location has changed over the years, one thing has remained constant. The South Side Mission’s aim is not only to alleviate the powerful physical poverty of those on the south end but a determination to offer life-transforming change through the spiritual hope of Jesus Christ.
We offer a lunch at our soup kitchen on weekdays and have youth after school programs through the school year. During the summers we have Summer Day Camp in town and a traditional Summer Camp out at our Camp Kearney location for youth in the 61605 area. We have our Hope Builders ministry doing home repair work projects for families in need. Our Culinary Arts program teaches important life skills and training for a career in food services. All of our ministries have a focus on presenting the Gospel by word and deed and showing God's love to our community.CAUSE AREAS
