Chicago Chefs Cook and Mariano’s Collaborate on a New Cookbook | Eater Chicago
"This local nonprofit was founded in March 2020 when three friends began distributing packaged hot meals to people experiencing homelessness; it now operates five fleets of buses around the city every weekend and has served more than 800,000 meals. The organization focuses on feeding the unhoused and has been particularly active in assisting migrant communities. It was chosen as the recipient of proceeds from the chef-created cookbook and regularly partners with chef-driven groups to mobilize resources and run large-scale fundraising and relief efforts." - Lisa Shames
I am keeping my word and informing you that the meal provided on Thursday at Night Ministry in Forest Park continues to be a nutritional meal that is appreciated (April 29, 2025).
This is a good organization that has helped individuals throughout the years. God Bless You!

This is solely a volunteer run organization that takes time off and the volunteers coordinate and spend time with those who are unhoused and in need. So many volunteers and restaurants that volunteer their time, their food, their staff and products to help so many people in need. Chi-Care cares.

So much I wanna say about this place! I really enjoyed everyone in this organization they were all kind to me. I got to experience what it was like to really feed homeless people it was nice to see their smiles and how they light up receiving food and water and clothing. If you ever can volunteer once or need to this place won't disappear. If riding in a cool van around the city where the homeless reside so you can hand out free meals and water makes your day. This is for you! Not everyone knows of this organization and I feel more needs too they care and show it over and over. I appreciate the guys running it they are blessing so many people who are less fortunate and trying to survive. I hope to always see them in Chicago continuing to help people because it inspires others. In volunteering there is no competition only good people trying to do good things! No matter what background or belief you come from its all put aside to come together and help these people. So glad I had this opportunity because I wasn't disappointed! And if you ever see a black van with chi care logo driving around smile. Because that's what they're bringing to the homeless. Thank you Chi-Care ❤️❤️.

I volunteered and was inspired by the interaction between all parties involved - the business donating food, the Chi-Care team, and the homeless. Great experience!
