Chicago’s West Side is home to vibrant neighborhoods like Garfield Park and Austin—areas rich in history but deeply impacted by poverty, violence, and food insecurity. Nearly one in five adults citywide lives below the poverty line, with rates even higher in underserved communities.
Send Relief’s Chicago Ministry Center equips churches to serve these neighborhoods through addiction recovery, mentoring for at-risk youth, senior care, and street outreach. The center offers mission trip opportunities and hands-on training for church partners ready to meet needs and share the gospel.
