What does St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Chicago have in common with the Brother Darst Center? Chicago Cares with St. Paul’s, Riverside? St. John’s in Chicago and St. John’s in Prospect Park?
They are among the parishes and community organizations who offer to volunteer at our food pantry.
On the second and third Saturdays of each month, over two hundred individuals and families come to Cathedral Shelter for ‘the basics’ – canned goods, fresh fruits and vegetables, meat. Struggling to juggle rent, food, medical expenses, and so much else, our assistance often goes a long way. Several people come back during the week for help with housing or employment.
“Thank you for being here,” said one senior recently who comes from a nearby housing project. To those giving their time bagging and distributing food for so many, her words bear repeating: “Thank you for being here!”
– Rev. Glenn Chalmers, Executive Director
