West Side residents needing help feeding their families can visit weekly food banks operated by St. Martin de Porres Church, Hope Community Church and Fraternite Notre Dame. The Police Department’s 15th District has also been distributing food.
Contributions can be made in person or online until June 9th. The goal is to raise at least $3,000.
Austin food pantries will receive a portion of money raised at the annual walkathon held earlier this week.
Third Unitarian Church will be among the rest stops for the annual charity event May 7th.
The Greater Chicago Food Depository’s lunch bus begins Monday and runs through Sept. 2 at several locations throughout the city, including the Austin branch library, 5615 W. Race St.
You can drop off non-perishable food items and toiletries at local businesses for two pantries that serve the West Side.
As AustinTalks counts its blessings, we want to share with you a poem written by an 8th grader at St. Angela School.
