Catholic Charities Tuesday Supper
CC Cicero began the Tuesday Supper program in October 2020 during the pandemic. Since they began, they have roughly distributed 125 meals a week primarily to low-income families from Cicero and surrounding communities. They are very grateful to St. Paul VI Parish for being a monthly sponsor. Service Outreach is coordinating a Tuesday Supper monthly on the 3rd Tuesday of the month. Thank you to all who have helped us to help others. Any questions, send an email to Service Outreach, ServiceOutreach@stmaryriverside.org.
