As a part of our Food Distribution Program, that serves hot meals 3 times a week, we also have volunteers walking the neighborhood. This is to create a positive presence in Lincoln Park and to assure our neighbors that during the times we serve (Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 10am-1pm) the environment is friendly and safe.
Represent our organization at neighborhood functions and speak about our services to to the public. TAhe main goal here is to create a positive image in the community of the Care for Friends agency.

Mission Statement
Care for Friends provides easy access to community, food and overall wellness for Chicago’s most vulnerable and under-served people, in an atmosphere of dignity and respect. Through its programs, Care for Friends successfully connects people with community resources to enable them to achieve a better quality of life.
Description
Our flagship program is "Food for Friends" - where we create a safe space for anyone requiring a meal to gather in community for a no-cost hot lunch served in sit-down, family style with dignity and respect.
Other services are available during this gathering time, including haircuts, a health clinic, clothes closet, and toiletries distribution. Additionally, representatives from our various partner organizations begin to make connections with our guests - establishing trusting relationships that will ultimately allow our guests to connect with the services they need to achieve a better quality of life.
