Event Details
Twice a year, Ravenswood Community Services transforms its weekly Community Kitchen into the “All Saints’ Café,” a fine dining experience for our hungry neighbors.
Café guests enjoy the dignity of choice, with the opportunity to order a gourmet, multi-course meal from a chef-prepared menu. Entrée choices are inspired by top Chicago restaurants and run the gamut from fancy to exotic. Guests are treated to a themed environment with tablecloths, live entertainment, maître ‘d service, attentive wait staff, beverage service, and restaurant-style menus.
Volunteer Needs
Volunteers are needed on the Saturday before each Café for food preparation, Sunday during the day for set-up and food prep, during the Café itself and for post Café clean-up. Volunteers must be at least 10 years old to work at this event.
Ravenswood Run
Each April, All Saints’ Episcopal Church hosts the Ravenswood Run to benefit RCS. This neighborhood 5k attracts 4,000 runners.
Event Details
The Ravenswood Run occurs annually on a Sunday in late April, and is one of Chicago’s only neighborhood 5K races. 4000 runners gather at the corner of Wilson and Hermitage Ave to run though the beautiful and historic Ravenswood neighborhood. Proceeds from the race benefit the Food Pantry and Community Kitchen at Ravenswood Community Services as well as the Student Health Centers at Amundsen and Lakeview High Schools.
Volunteer Needs
There are opportunities for volunteers both in the weeks leading up to the run and on race day. Opportunities will be posted here when available.
