Our Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday routes take us across the Chicagoland area to serve meals to the unhoused.
Buy supplies and assemble snack packs that Chi-Care distributes to shelters and directly to where they’re needed.
Help us sort, organize, and move the many items required to enable our effort.

No special training is required. We will provide details once you've signed up.
Parent or Guardian approval is required for our meal distribution and service. We have a number of volunteers under the age of 18 who have served on our routes with their parents or part of a group. We also have other activities such as making snack packs or hygiene kits which are great ways to help out!
