Chi-Care’s Wellness Fairs are community-centered events designed to bring essential wrap-around care and services directly to individuals experiencing homelessness or instability. At each fair, guests can access warm meals prepared by Chi-Care alongside vital resources such as basic medical care, housing guidance, social services, hygiene supplies, mobile showers, and seasonal clothing. By centralizing these services in accessible public spaces, we help reduce barriers and ensure that those in need can receive care with dignity.

Our Wellness Fair operations began through an ongoing partnership with The Night Ministry, where Chi-Care provides meals every Thursday at the Forest Park Blue Line station. As the community need continues to grow, we have expanded to additional locations across the city, increasing our ability to reach more neighbors facing hardship. Each fair is staffed by compassionate volunteers and partner organizations who work collectively to address both immediate needs and long-term stability.

With every meal served, connection made, and resource provided, Wellness Fairs help build a healthier, more humane Chicago for all. Interested in volunteering or partnering? We’d love to have you join us.
