Raising Funds for Meals Ministry and the EDSSC
|
There are only a couple of weeks left to register for this month's Greater Chicago Food Depository Hunger Walk and support the feeding programs of Fourth Church Meals Ministry and the Chicago Lights Elam Davies Social Service Center (EDSSC)!
The walk will take place on Saturday, June 25, and Fourth Church Meals Ministry and the EDSSC are fielding a walking team. We still need walkers to join us as well as individuals to support those walking: all points earned and donations received through the team will help provide much-needed food for Fourth Church Meals Ministry's Sunday Night Supper, Monday Night Supper, and midweek bag lunches, as well as the EDSSC's Consumer Choice Food Pantry.
To register to walk with the Fourth Church Meals Ministry and EDSSC team, click here and follow the step-by-step instructions on the registration process.
More information is also available by contacting Patty Thomas, Supportive Services Coordinator for the EDSSC, at 312.981.3388.
