Welcome to the Outreach Programs page. There are numerous opportunities
for you to volunteer your time and talents depending on your schedule.
Hunger Walk
We want to thank those who joined fellow parishioners in last weekend’s Greater
Chicago Food Depository Hunger Walk and those who so generously sponsored our
walkers! It was a beautiful day to be on the lakefront, and everyone had a good
time raising money to benefit our pantry families and sandwich window guests.
View some pix from a previous year's Walk.
Assembling Hygiene Kits
These kits will be distributed to the 100+ homeless who come to our
Seton Sandwich Kitchen every day, as well as the poor who come to our
Seton Food Pantry; the rest will be distributed by The Night
Ministry Bus (described below).
If you are wondering what these kits might look like,
check out the one that is displayed on the bulletin board at the
Webster Avenue Entrance. Do you travel and stay in hotels?
Then, please save us the soaps, shampoos, conditioners, etc. Also, if you are ever wondering what
else to donate, we could use razors, small travel-size toothpaste and
toothbrushes, and small combs - we have to buy these items. With these
donations, men and women on the streets can get a “fresh start” to their day.
Hygiene kits
are made every 6 - 8 weeks by volunteers. If you would like to help assemble
the
kits in the future, please contact us —
in person, over the phone, or by email.
St. Vincent’s School Supply Drive
Your donated school supplies have been delivered to St. Philomena Parish. Due to
your generosity, the school children of that parish will be well equipped as
they begin a new school year. Thank you so much for taking the time to shop for
and deliver so many overfilled packages of supplies. It is so important for
children to feel ready for school, and thanks to you these children are.
Thank you from The Outreach Commission
