Join us for our Fill the Truck Event!
On Saturday, September 27, 2025, we’ll be at 1895 E Sangamon Ave, Springfield, IL collecting pet supplies for the APL. Stop by, drop off donations, and help us pack the truck full of love for local animals.

Other ways to get involved:

• Donate on move day: Moving with us? Set aside pet supplies for the APL, and our movers will collect them and deliver directly to the shelter.

• Give online: You can also donate directly through the Animal Protective League’s website.

Most-needed items include:

• Pet food and treats

• Blankets and towels

• Toys, leashes, and collars

Every donation, big or small, helps the APL provide essential care and find loving homes for Springfield’s furry friends. Together, we can make a lasting difference!

In the first two weeks of college, students are exposed to the people that will influence their lives for many years to come. Christian Student Fellowship helps new students transition into this environment by introducing them to Christian students and ways to stay connected with Bibilical truths and experiences throughout their college years. 

We work with Fifth Street Renaissance and their SPRING STREET RENAISSANCE program to help Veterans get back on their feet when needed. Each year MB Heating and Cooling hosts their Campout for Homeless Fundraiser. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Springfield assist by donating boxes for the event.
