Community Outreach Day 2023
Community Outreach Day is the 3rd Sunday of every other month at 6:00 am CT. We set up on Canal Street, between 13th and 14th Streets, to distribute our hot food, snacks, clothing, shoes and toiletries until 8:30 a.m. (CT), and then we distribute remaining supplies to various "tent cities" around Chicago. The next upcoming Community Outreach Day is Sunday, November 19th.
