St Julie Parish supports the Port Ministries
With twenty-one years of serving the poor and
homeless in Chicago's Back of the Yards neighborhood, Port Ministries is
in danger of drastically cutting its services We desperately need your
help. We can save this much-needed
refuge of comfort and hope. Your donation, small or large will help
continue the work that has sustained over 4,700 of God's children. It will
go towards: Sheltering, training and
empowering nearly 1,000 families at Theresa House. Feeding 215 each day
during the school year, 275 children on Saturdays (and daily
during non-school hours). Providing over 4,200
patient visits to uninsured families at the Port Free Clinic. Welcoming 75 adult
students each year to ESIJ/GED classes and offering age
appropriate activities for their children. Strengthening the bodies
and spirits of local at-risk youth in Tony's Gym through gym and
fitness programs. The numbers of poor and homeless
in need are growing and that's why Port Ministries needs your help. Please
