St. Vincent’s Outreach Program to host free Thanksgiving meal & winter coat distribution for the homeless

On Saturday, November 15, the Outreach Program will serve a Thanksgiving meal to up to 400 Chicago homeless men & women.

With the cold and snowy weather approaching – and as another way to help the homeless this holiday season – Outreach staff and volunteers plan to distribute warm winter coats to guests who attend this luncheon.

Our current supply of men’s coats is very limited and we would like to have coats available for as many guests as possible.

Any donation of men’s coats would give us a significant boost as we prepare for the November 15th event.

Questions? Please contact Molly Savage, Volunteer Coordinator, at 312-278-4220 or msavage@svdpc.org

Sincerely,

The Outreach Program Staff
St. Vincent de Paul Center

P.S. – Please pass this along to friends, family, neighbors and colleagues! Forward

Drop-Offs:

Donations of coats can be dropped off (9AM-5PM Mon. – Fri.) at our Outreach Center located on Webster St (half block east of Halsted) OR at our Dock, behind the Center
