Show up. Give back.
Get inspired.
Our events bring together community, purpose, and passion—uniting people who care about giving back while celebrating the car culture that drives us. Come connect, volunteer, and see firsthand how Off the GRID Car Club is making an impact across Chicagoland.

Thanksgiving Basket Giveaway
As we prepare for this Thanksgiving season, Tabernacle of Holiness Church is on a mission to serve families within the Racine Courts community, one of Chicago's underserved neighborhoods. Our goal is to provide Thanksgiving Giveaway Baskets filled with essential items so families can enjoy a complete holiday meal.
To accomplish this, we are seeking the support of local businesses and grocery stores. Whether through food donations, gift cards, or financial contributions, your partnership will directly bless families in need right here in Chicago.
We would be honored to have you join us in this effort. Together, we can make a meaningful impact by ensuring no family in our community goes without a holiday meal.
If you are able to contribute, please contact the Church at 773-551-0225 or tanzahowell@gmail.com. We are happy to arrange pickup of donations or coordinate with your team in whatever way works best.
