HUH? BARBERQUE?

The BarberQue project aims to raise awareness around the issue of homelessness in Chicago by marrying the functionality of a barbershop with the delicious grub of a barbecue.

THAT SOUNDS COOL, TELL ME MORE.

BarberQue strives to provide resources of opportunity to those facing homelessness by bringing community members together and working collectively to spread joy, understanding, and support.

SO, BARBERQUE PROVIDES FOOD AND HAIRCUTS TO THE HOMELESS?

Yes, food, haircuts, and a bunch more.

We believe every person deserves to live with dignity.

Because of that, the BarberQue event includes:
- a haircut, shave & shampoo
- a family-style barbecue meal
- a food grab-bag
- a toiletry grab-bag
- clothing (including shoes, socks and underwear)

Access to social service organzations, including:
- local shelters
