This podcast is an interview with Celine Woznica, member of the Leadership Team of Oak Park Migrant Ministry and Nick Gliha, Community Engagement Manager for Church World Service. This podcast is a discussion about the issues facing local agencies which help feed those in need.
The Migrant Ministry is an interfaith effort sponsored by the Catholic Parishes of Oak Park to address the immediate and long term needs of our migrant brothers and sisters. Powered entirely by volunteers, the ministry welcomes asylum seekers living in Chicago shelters and elsewhere on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to select from donated clothing, shoes, coats, blankets, sheets, towels, and toiletries. The ministry also provides breakfast and access to social services, health care, spiritual accompaniment, and immigration support. ESL classes are held once a week. The Migrant Ministry has also resettled 20 households of migrant families and single men, accompanying them and helping them to navigate life in the United States.
Church World Service is a faith-based organization transforming communities around the globe through just and sustainable responses to hunger, poverty, displacement and disaster. No one in this world should be hungry. That's why the CROP Hunger Walk is more than just a yearly gathering. It's a movement that's 55 years strong, made up of compassionate people in more than 500 communities across the U.S.
