Come help support a food PANTRY IN WEST HUMBOLT PARK, with Mission of
Our Lady of the Angels. In response to COVID-19, the nuns at this
mission have seen a triple increase in food needs and hunger from the
community (they are currently helping 600 families a week). This is a
safe, outdoor, socially-distanced food DISTRIBUTIONS. Volunteers will
help setup tables and food and pass them out to our friendly and
grateful neighbors who may be going through a hard time during this
pandemic. You can make a difference in their lives by sharing some
hope and kindness with them.Volunteers are needed starting at 7:30 am.
The first 2 hours are the busiest with positioning the food and
tables. If you cannot make the full project time, coming late or
leaving early is still helpful, just leave a message below to let us
know if you have to adjust your shift time. Please help with clean up
and break down, recycling after the event. While the nuns at this
mission are of Catholic faith, they serve families of all faiths in
the community and you do not need to be Catholic to volunteer and
help. You should come with an open mind and attitude of respect and
tolerance.
During the pandemic response, additional rules are implemented for
everybody s safety:
