UPDATED 9/8/24! — Edgewater and Rogers Park Neighborhoods
Care For Real is a food pantry serving the Edgewater neighborhood for 50 years from their storefront at 5339 North Sheridan Avenue. During the Pandemic, they expanded to Rogers Park serving that neighborhood from the United Church of Rogers Park at 1545 West Morse Avenue. Intended to only be a “Pop-Up” store, they’ve recently celebrated their fourth anniversary at that location.
Volunteer opportunities are plentiful during food distributions, which are held on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays every week at the Sheridan store, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Rogers Park store. Help is also needed throughout the week at both stores in order to package food, pick up food from local donation centers, organize the clothing store, etc.
