Ravenswood Community Services (RCS) provides the basics of food and supplies to our neighbors, respecting the dignity of all and creating community throughout Ravenswood and the surrounding neighborhoods. We strive to offer services and connections to resources that can help people realize health, stability, and self-sufficiency.
Food Pantry and Community Kitchen
Through our partnership with Ravenswood Community Services, we open our doors to feed our community on Tuesday nights.
In 2024 the Tuesday Pantry had the busiest year in its history hosting over18,000 visits. Neighbors visit our Food Pantry for fresh groceries and/or our Community Kitchen for a hot, family-style meal.
In addition, on the second Saturday morning of each month, RCS hosts a mobile Food Pantry outside of nearby Ravenswood School.
Ravenswood Run
Founded in 2017 by All Saints to support the food pantry, the Ravenswood Run continues to be a huge support for Ravenswood Community Services.
It is one of Chicago’s only neighborhood 5K races. 3,000 runners gather at the corner of Wilson and Hermitage Ave to run through the beautiful and historic Ravenswood neighborhood. Proceeds from the race benefit the Food Pantry and Community Kitchen at Ravenswood Community Services.
Registration is open for the race on April 26, 2026.
