We have
been here since 1969 answering the emergency needs of residents of the
Chicago South Suburban Area (to see other human assistance agencies working
near us,

in striving to help the truly needy first, we are forced to require
documented verification of South Suburban residency and all circumstances of
any emergency. We are here to offer relief and a helping hand to the poor
among us. We believe in helping our neighbors because we have no doubt that
CARING is the key to true community!
According to a recent study by the
Greater Chicago Food Depository, several southern suburbs were in the top 10
communities with the highest unmet food needs. A new pantry at 21701
Torrence Avenue in Sauk Village. This pantry will be open Tuesdays from 10am to
2pm and will serve those who meet the Agriculture Department's eligibility
guidelines for getting free food. Clients must have identification that
shows that they live nearby.
