Join members of the WashU Chicago community for an afternoon at the Interfaith Action Sunday Soup Kitchen. We will be helping prepare and package meals to distribute to the community or preparing the kitchen and supplies for the next set of volunteers. Children as young as 7 are welcome and encouraged to participate, provided the children have adult supervision.
Interfaith Action of Evanston is a network that serves meals at soup kitchens throughout Evanston every weekday, every week of every month, all year long. Interfaith Action has been serving their community since 1979. Learn more here.
