Support Fourth Church Meals Ministry

It's not too late to register for this Saturday's Greater Chicago Food Depository (GCFD) Hunger Walk and support the feeding programs of Fourth Church Meals Ministry!
It's also not too late to make a donation to support the team's efforts to raise $25,000.
For every walker that joins the Fourth Church Meals Ministry team, Fourth Church earns $12 in food credits, which are used to purchase food from the GCFD for our Sunday and Monday Night Suppers and the Bag Lunch program.
To register to walk with the Fourth Church Meals Ministry team, click here and follow the step-by-step instructions on the registration process.
