Thank you for showing interest in our event! The Greater United Foundation is committed to educating, uplifting and empowering communities across the city of Chicago! We primarily focus on the Homeless community by finding ways to provide them with shelter, jobs and food. What better way than to involve everyone in this mission? Which is what we call our “Giving Sunday’s.”
Our Giving Sunday’s will consist of two parts. First, we will assemble meals inside of the church (all ages are welcomed) and this normally takes 2 hours. Secondly, we will pack vehicles and drive around the chinatown, south loop, and downtown area of Chicago to hand out meals to those in need, this part normally takes 2 1/2 to 3 hours. You are welcomed to arrive or leave during any portion of the day (you are not obligated to stay the full day with us).
You may enter the church one of two ways. Enter through the alley entrance, closest to the street (Soup Kitchen Door). If the door is not propped open, please knock. Or you may enter through the door on the side street. As soon as you enter, turn left and take the stairs to the basement where we will be serving.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us! We look forward to meeting you soon!
