Join Fight2Feed as we help cook a delicious lunch for seniors at Little Brothers: Friends of the Elderly. The main goal of the senior lunch is to relieve isolation and loneliness among the elderly by providing a great meal in a very social interactive space.
This is a monthly project taking place usually on the first or second Saturday of the month.
Volunteers will meet at their main office location at
355 N Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60607.
We will start cooking at 8 am and be ready to serve by noon. We will cook 80 meals to serve on site and also cook an extra 50 meals to deliver to Holy Trinity Church near by that will feed our homeless neighbors.
Volunteers will meet in the kitchen.
Please dress appropriately to work in a kitchen. Wear closed toe shoes with non slip bottoms, like sneakers. Slacks, jeans. or long pants. No shorts or tank tops allowed. You will be asked to wear a hair net or you can bring a baseball cap to manage your hair. You can also bring your own apron if you own one.
There is some free street parking in the area, usually west of Ashland Ave. It is also near CTA bus routes.

Fight2Feed combines donated restaurant resources with the mobility of food trucks and volunteer driven cars to delivery food to where food is needed the most in our city. Our organization is 100% volunteer run and supported. We have served over 55,000 meals to people in need in the last 3 years, and have rescued thousands of pounds of surplus food in 2017 from restaurants and other events to be redistributed to hungry citizens in need.
