This is CareTeam October
At 6 O’Clock We Eat.
October 12th-14th
This is your official invitation: You are invited to view the artwork of Dignity Diner patrons at the Green Lantern Gallery from October 12th thru 14th as a part of Chicago Artists Month! Many of you came out and jumped right into painting, drawing and sculpting with the patrons, and we’d like you to see what you’ve helped create. Nineteen different artists will present over 30 pieces of work. Don’t be a party pooper!
Opening Friday, October 12th 6-9pm
Oral History Listening Sessions Saturday & Sunday, October 13th & 14th 1pm
Closing Sunday, October 14th 3pm
Green Lantern Gallery
1151 N Milwaukee Ave, 2nd floor
Want to help us hang art work, serve hors d’oeuvres, take photos or explain the exhibit to visitors? Email Kara Teeple of Dignity Diner: Kara.Teeple@illinois.gov.

CareTeam Eats
Mondays: October 8 15 22 29
PICNIC season’s over, but we still want to give out free food. You do, too? Then join us every Monday at our partner organization, Inspiration Café, to put food into individual bags that we’ll pass out to people on the streets of Uptown. The best part is that all the food from Trader Joe’s tastes incredible (some of us subsist on free food).
Inspiration Café
4554 N Broadway
1-3pm
REST Men’s Olympics
Wednesday, October 10th
Serving food isn’t the only way to volunteer. Another way is to fall on the floor laughing from an intense round of Charades. Join the men of REST Shelter in distracting themselves from the fact that . . . they’re in a shelter.
REST Men’s Shelter

8-9:30pm
I'll volunteer for this.
Dignity Diner Art Showing
Tuesday, October 16th
All the artwork from “At 6 O’Clock We Eat” will be on display at Dignity Diner for those patrons who just couldn’t make it to the gallery. This would also be your last chance to see all the pieces in their glory. It’s not, however, your last chance to hang out with patrons, as . . . . . what the?!?! Who wants another round of Dignity Idol?!?! Coming up, then!
Holy Covenant United Methodist Church
925 W Diversey
6:30-8:30pm
I'll volunteer for this.
Put the DuSable Campus Garden to Sleep
Saturday, October 20th
Not in that We-have-to-put-Whiskers-to-sleep kind of way but in that Let’s-protect-the-perennials kind of way. If you’re handy with a shovel or rake and like to work with dirt, we need to literally cover up our garden so as to protect our flowers for next year. This is an easy one. We supply the gloves and you supply the glamour.
DuSable Campus Garden
4935 S Wabash (city lot)
9-11am
I'll volunteer for this.
Art with Logan Square Youth
Tuesday, October 23rd
We have a thing for art, that’s for sure. We want you to see all the ideas that come out from youth armed with paint and paintbrushes, and you help catalyze those ideas. We’d like you to spend two hours with some youth, Crayola paints and construction paper. There’s no way you can’t see their potential.
Logan Square Neighborhood Boys & Girls Club
3228 W Palmer Ave
6-8pm
I'll volunteer for this.
