On the SECOND Saturday of the month we gather in Logan Square and prepare food, clothing and other comfort items to share with our unhoused neighbors in Chicago. We alternate our distribution schedule between downtown and Garfield Park. As a Service Day Afternoon Volunteer- Garfield Park, you'll be sharing the prepared meals, clothing and comfort items with the community in direct connection. We meet at Madison and Keeler (there is a parking area and it's accessible via the #20 Madison bus) and set out up our food and clothing areas. The community members know we're coming and begin coming over to see what we're sharing this day and we engage them one on one as we help them navigate the service system.

Mission Statement
The Chicago Bridge Project builds community by sharing warm food and clothing with our most vulnerable neighbors.
Description
The Chicago Bridge Project is a food and clothing rescue that collects excess ingredients and foodstuffs from restaurants and events and clothing from laundries and dry cleaners. We meet once a month to sort the clothing, prepare a delicious meal, and create hand-made greeting cards and comfort kits of toiletries and other niceties. We package up the meal courses in single serving containers, load up our cars with food and clothing and head out to meet our neighbors in need. We engage them where they are - on the street - and offer friendship, community, clothing and a meal prepared with love.
