​Interfaith Acton of Evanston

Contact: Corky Siegfriedt OR Interfaith Action of Evanston.

St. Matthew’s is a member of Interfaith Action of Evanston. As part of this group we join forces with more than 40 communities of faith in Evanston to assist the homeless and the working poor in our community. Our engagement includes material support and financial contributions in our annual membership and through generous giving. Our funds help provide meals, overnight shelter during cold nights in the winter months, a warming center during winter days, job training assistance and other supports. We celebrate individuals who have had an impact on the community, each year, at the Vision Keepers Dinner. All are more than welcome to join this effort. See the website to sign up to volunteer or contact Corky for more information.

 

Wednesday Lunch Program

Coordinator: Kati Olsen 

Every Wednesday, members of St. Matthew’s work with members of St. Mark’s to feed lunch to the homeless and working poor of Evanston. Many have come to count on the Wednesday lunch program and tell the volunteers that it is one of their favorite meals of the whole week. Anyone can help in some way. We prepare sandwiches and serve on Wednesdays during lunchtime. Volunteer times are as you are able so can be regularly or periodically, according to your own schedule.
