The Harbor Light hosts two mobile units that provide minitry to the homeless:  Mobile Homeless Outreach and Mobile Homeless Feeding.  Mobile Outreach is an expanded program of Mobile Feeding and was introduced in Fall 2008. 

The vision of the Frontline Feeding program at Harbor Light is to meet the immediate need of a hot meal in such a way as to build a relationship and assist in meeting any other additional needs (ie. homelessness, addictions, mental health issues.)  An encouraging word and just knowing someone cares goes a long way in offering hope.

Mobile Homeless Outreach

Mobile Outreach provides meals, case management, and ministry to the homeless throughout the city of Chicago.  The staff consists of seasoned professionals that provide referrals to treatment centers, shelter, and other resources for those seeking help.  The Mobile Outreach Unit has been wildly successfull in helping single men and women and families get off the streets and into safe and helpful atmospheres. 

The Mobile Outreach Unit operates from 9am - 5pm Monday through Friday. 

Mobile Feeding

Every night, the Mobile Feeding Unit serves hot meals to those living under the bridges and on the streets of Chicago.  We serve 800 meals a night; just over a quarter million meals each year.  But it's more than a "meal" it's a chance at a relationship.

The feeding routes are from 3 - 10:30pm Sunday through Sunday.

How Can I get Involved?

Volunteers are needed on either units for nearly any shift.  Individuals or small groups are best suited for this activity. 

Those who are not able to assist as volunteers can still help by offering their financial support to this vital community searvice.
