The Night Ministry

Acacia Park Lutheran Church has a longstanding history of partnership with The Night Ministry, a Chicago-based organization whose mission is to provide human connection, housing support, and health care to those who are unhoused or experiencing poverty.

Our volunteers gather monthly to assemble meals and comfort kits, and then travel to the community alongside The Night Ministry health van to distribute to our neighbors in need.

Below is a list of items we need to support these meals. If you would like to make a financial gift to support this ministry, please visit our Giving page for ways to donate!
