We began as a ministry of All Saints' Episcopal Church, Chicago.
It all started Ash Wednesday, 1993. We began by handing out bags of groceries through the front doors of the church to about 20 neighbors.
On one incredibly cold Chicago night, neighbors were invited in to warm up and pizza was ordered and served to pass the time.
Conversations were flowing and relationships were built.
It has evolved into a Tuesday night full of groceries, conversations, and incredible meals.
We supplement our outreach efforts with the help of The Greater Chicago Food Depository.
We are proud to be an agency of Episcopal Charities and Community Services.
We partner with First Slice to feed the hungry on the streets of Chicago.
The Night Ministry supports us in our health outreach efforts.
DePaul's Nursing Department partners with us to provide health skills education to its students and to our hungry neighbors.
We reach out to all neighbors in hopes of creating a community of connections, respecting the dignity of every human being.
