Necessary Updates to Soup Kitchen
Donation protected
Dear Friends:
Community * Love * Embodiment of a Spiritual Ideal * Generosity * Kindness * Compassion * Nutrition * Equality
Aren’t these the values you hold dear? Don’t you see too little of them in the world around you? Would you like to see these values have more impact on our daily lives? Your gift to FCHN will help make that possible.
“But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” 1 John 3:17-18
I think you will agree … the lessons we learn through the remarkable people at FCHN have much to teach us about the true values of our community.
FCHN carries out its mission by:
- Providing a Christian, caring environment for our staff, our volunteers and our clients.
- Striving to provide our clients with nutrition, healthy foods and weather appropriate clothing.
- Providing a safe environment where our clients can come for physical and spiritual nourishment.
- Sourcing and allocating resources in an efficient and effective manner.
Now in existence for over 30 years, FCHN continues to strive to expand its programs and offerings to the community. In order to meet our mission and provide services in our community, we rely on the generosity of individuals and businesses for support. Without the assistance of community-minded individuals just like you, we wouldn't be able to help those in our community each day.
Our goal this spring is to raise $10,000 for immediate kitchen repairs and upgrades and we hope that you will be able to make a contribution. Your generosity will make a difference in our community by allowing us to continue in our work. Thank you in advance and please share our story and mission with your family and friends.
Often hungry as a child Betty Price, affectionately known as “Mother Price”, promised herself and God that her own family would always have enough to eat and clothing to wear. She also promised the Lord that she would do all she could to help provide for those around her that were hungry and cold. In the mid-1960s Mother Price left her job of 23 years and began feeding and clothing people out of her own home. Mother Price’s outreach to the community quickly grew and she realized that she has found her mission in life.
In 1997 Mother Price was blessed to acquire the old meat packing facility at 1234 West 59th Street. She renovated the old plant and moved FCHN in. Her ministry and outreach has grown exponentially ever since. Today Mother Price feeds over 1000 hungry men, women and children per week. In addition to the homeless men and women she feeds and clothes, since 2008 the economic recession has added many working poor to the roster of FCHN clients. Mother Price is an advocate for the poor and hungry, often appearing on local television to push for more awareness and aide for those in need in her community. Englewood is one of the poorest communities in Chicago. Life in the community is a daily struggle for survival for many.
FCHN is a place where everyone is welcomed, regardless of your race, your faith, or your position in society.
All money collected will go toward updating our kitchen where we prepare over 150 free hot meals daily (Mon-Fri) for those in need and for the purchase of food. We have such a great need that any donation you provide will be greatly appreciated.
Would you please help us?
