The mission of A Just Harvest is to fight poverty and hunger in the Rogers Park and greater Chicago community by providing nutritious meals daily while cultivating community and economic development and organizing across racial, cultural and socio-economic lines in order to create a more just society.
All of our work is done in partnership with dedicated volunteers and donors. We invite you to explore how you can work with us to end hunger and poverty.

Your Role as a Kitchen Volunteer: We serve food restaurant-style so you will have any role you might have in a restaurant. Possibilities include: delivering beverages to the tables, taking food to tables, working behind the serving counter, bussing tables, or resetting the tables. When dinner service is done, all volunteers can participate in sweeping, mopping, and a comprehensive clean-up of the kitchen. We can’t do this work without you!
