Summer is coming.....

Greetings and Salutations from Chicago!!
Things have been very busy this past spring here. I have had wonderful groups from all over the country and even Canada!! All were truly special and helped the city in so many ways. Ways in which I know you will once your group comes to do God’s work. If you are anxious and excited about your upcoming trip to DOOR Chicago please visit our YouTube page. At this page you can view the facility you will be calling home for your stay and see pictures of groups who have visited. Also, we are having a food drive to help support the local food bank and their many food pantry partners. Now until Aug 15 we are collecting non perishable food items so that the local food bank and pantries can continue their efforts to feed those who need it. Please do all you can to help us to pass our goal of 1200 can goods!! If you have any questions about this event and others please contact me. Thank you and God bless.

Here comes the Spring

Greetings from Chicago! This week launches the start of our spring season which means we welcome spring groups. We are always grateful and blessed to have eager people to come and serve with us in the city. The start of the spring also brings the start of this year’s food drive to raise 1200 lbs of non perishable items. If you would like to donate items please send them to the DOOR Chicago office. If you would like to donate funds please send a check made out to DOOR Chicago and in the memo section put Food Drive. Also, if you would like to see the facility that you will be staying at feel free to check out DOOR Chicago’s YouTube videos!!! Thank you and God bless.
