free lunch program in Uptown serving noon to 1 pm, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays in Anderson Hall, lower level, 941 W. Lawrence Ave, Chicago Enter through E. doors, downstairs
Isaac Barrantine has been cooking lunches, ordering food, supervising the volunteers, and keeping things orderly in the downstairs hall of the Preston Bradley Center on Lawrence for several years. And now that the program is expanding, Isaac is hitting the pavement talking with funders about his dream: a lunch program, seven days a week, that treats poor and homeless people with respect, that provides good and nutritious food in an atmosphere of warmth and acceptance. Isaac tells of his experience as a child, hearing his pastor talk about "2 Li'l Fishes" - the miracle of sharing, of abundance, when Jesus invites people to share the little they have, and those two fishes and a few loaves of bread are multiplied enough to feed everyone present, and still have some left over! Our lunch program gets its name from that memory, that story of abundance. Be a part of this story - contribute your time, your money, your heart... We need you! Volunteer now... 2 Li'l Fishes provides a generous plateful each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 12:30 to 1:30pm. Open to all, the meals program serves 1500 meals a month. The program will open on Sundays beginning in September, and Fridays in January of 2009, if all goes well. Here's how others are helping...
...These are just some of the ways others are helping - won't you participate?
