Night MinistryThis 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: Once a month, every third Monday of the month. Pick up time: 3 pm (time updated). But the actual dates might be different. The short video shows you the tips. (click for more info) 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: 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. Wrap the sandwiches in individual zip bags, and put them back to the original toast bag. Don't mix with fruit or paper bags.
