Volunteers serve the homeless during the evening and help the full-time volunteers cook during the day. The work the groups will do in the evening are the same as those for our part-time volunteers. Many groups also make time for sightseeing in downtown Chicago, just a short subway ride away. We have four guest rooms at the Marquard Center, where our soup kitchen is located, that accommodate up to 10 volunteers. Beds, linens, and towels are provided.
Groups can stay for anywhere from a weekend to a week depending on their needs.
Meals and ministry is shared with the full-time volunteer community. Groups must schedule a stay in advance.
