Ways to give
Your gift puts groceries in a neighbor's hands
Missionaries for Christ Community Outreach is powered entirely by people like you — neighbors, churches, and local businesses who believe no one in Marquette Park should go hungry.
What your gift supports
Every dollar and every donated item goes straight back into the neighborhood — buying groceries, keeping the lights on at giveaway day, and connecting neighbors to work and housing.
Groceries & warm meals
Food staples, fresh produce, and hot meals served at each monthly giveaway.
Clothing for the whole family
Sorting, storing, and distributing gently used clothing for adults and children.
Giveaway-day supplies
Tables, tents, bags, and everything it takes to set up a giveaway at the field house.
Job & housing connections
Printed job leads, housing resource guides, and the one-on-one help that goes with them.
Give what you can
There is no gift too small. Choose a suggested amount below, or give whatever is on your heart — by CashApp, Zelle, or mail.
