Volunteer
We have only one part-time paid staff member and rely on dozens of volunteers each week. Call us at 773-667-5881 or introduce yourself during one of our food programs to learn about how you can help...
as an INDIVIDUAL: During our regular food program times, unless you have a special skill to offer!
as a GROUP: We regularly host volunteer days for groups, especially from the University of Chicago. At times good for you!
as a LEADER: Currently our programs need leaders to grow. As a program leader, you leverage our volunteers, building, and partners to help dozens of neighbors weekly. Are you good at organizing people and programs, and can you volunteer for about a day over the course of every week?
