Night Ministry

This is a ministry that all are welcomed to join and capable to join. We started to join Night Ministry and provide sandwiches since pandemic in 2020. We realized our friends on the street are in need.

How to join:
Wrap up your sandwiches in a paper bag, with fruit and juice. Once a month. Every Third Wednesdays, between 4 to 5 pm, deliver to Chicago Theological Seminary parking lot (1407 E 60th St, Chicago, IL 60637). The short video shows you the tips.

Could I just make 5 sandwiches?
Sure! We usually collect around 100 sandwiches from folks at a time. It's a team work!

How it works:
After each day's sandwiches are collected, the Night Ministry delivers those sandwiches to different corners in the city Chicago regularly by trucks to ensure our friends' needs are fulfilled.

Why to join:
Food justice is one of the agenda of Earth Day, a continuing project.

* Specific Sack meal guidelines (updates)
Sack suppers should include sandwich (meat and cheese only, no condiments), chips, easy to eat fruit such as an orange or a banana or a fruit cup, and bottled water. Some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are appreciated, as well. (click for more info)
