Outreach and Health Ministry
Many people served by our Health Outreach Program rely on us for at least some, if not most, of the food they consume in a day. We invite you to help by providing meals for the Health Outreach Bus, Street Medicine Team, and our outreach on the CTA.
We encourage you to donate hot meals as well as sack suppers for the Health Outreach Bus and our CTA outreach. You may serve the food you are donating alongside us, bring them to our administrative office, or drop them off at the outreach location. Please schedule your meals in advance by first viewing our meal calendar and then contacting Andrew Hart, Volunteer Coordinator, at This email address is being protected from spambots.

We are also accepting donations of sack suppers at our administrative office that are distributed by our Street Medicine Team to clients across the city. Please contact Andrew to make arrangements to donate Street Medicine sack suppers in advance.

We invite you to provide weekend breakfast and dinner for guests of The Crib, our overnight shelter for young adults. You can prepare and serve your meals from The Crib's kitchen or drop off homemade or restaurant meals at the shelter, adjacent to our administrative office. Meals should serve 25 people and be scheduled in advance.
