ORGANIZATION: Care For Friends

  • 1 person is interested
CFF Food Service

CUMALI stands for Chicago Urban Ministries And Life Intervention. This organization works together as a team to aid and serve the most vulnerable on the streets who have established survival outside. Your job would be to join the initiative in the kitchen to prepare, cook food and package it to be distributed to individuals who need it the most. The population we serve are members of the community who suffer from debilitating physical conditions and mental health problems who may have given up on shelters and working but never the less still need our attention and help. If you are inclined to give back to underserved people and make a powerful impact through a network of good people helping others, this is the place you need to be!

We have a small assembled team that regularly meets Monday afternoons from 2-5pm. We have a designated team leader to help guide the preparation and cooking process. We receive a lot of donated food from Casinos and sometimes have to cook up food that has been frozen. The duties are to cook the food, box the food in trays, prepare the boxes for transport, and do a quick clean up. All operations are out of the kitchen of the Parish Hall at Church of Our Saviour 530 W Fullerton Pkwy.

This is a great opportunity to do some good in the world and work with a great team full of stories and good laughs. If you are interested in participating please contact Bessana Kendig at cffvco@gmail.com

We are specifically looking for help on these dates:
Monday September 16
Monday September 23

About Care For Friends

Location:

530 W FULLERTON PKWY, CHICAGO, IL 60614, US

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.
