With apologies, our move will be postponed another week and we will remain at OLV on June 10th.

We are looking for volunteers to assist with the move, particularly people capable of heavy lifting. If you are interested, please message this page, [email protected], or 312-972-1164.

UPDATE - We will remain at OLV (5240 W Sunnyside) for one more week (June 3rd) and begin service at St Bart's on June 10th.

Apologies for any confusion and thank you for bearing with us during this transition.

We are moving!

After many years at OLV, we are moving our weekly food distribution to St Bartholomew's at 3601 N Lavergne.

We will still be at OLV May 27th but (as of now) the plan will be to begin distributing at St Bart's starting June 3rd.

We are looking for able bodied folks to help with the move - please reach out if you are interested, or with any questions or concerns.

There are still a few spots left for our upcoming community event, Yoga for the Mind. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, our office is proud to support mental wellness right here in our community.

Join us for a free yoga class hosted in partnership with Senator Robert Martwick and Sol Space in Jefferson Park. This relaxing session will focus on gentle movement and guided breathing techniques to help reduce stress, improve focus, and support overall well-being. Whether you’re brand new to yoga or a seasoned participant, all experience levels are welcome. Come shake off the Sunday Scaries with us this weekend, May 17th, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Sol Space (5922 W. Lawrence Ave).
