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.

Snowy Chicago

We are still "Seeing the Face of God" in the snowy cold of Chicago. Please consider signing up for a winter or spring weekend. Contact Brian at Brian@DOORnetwork.org for more information.

Spend a semester in Chicago
