Su Casa Brings Fresh Produce to Latinos in Need

Share On Social!

In Chicago’s south side, one group is making a difference in the lives of struggling Latino families.

Su Casa primarily serves Spanish-speaking homeless families of Chicago, many of whom are women and children escaping domestic violence. They host 3 meals a week for families in need, collect and distribute food through their food pantry, and host round-table discussions about social justice and issues that impact the community.

Su Casa also runs an organic urban garden in partnership with Growing Home, an agricultural non-profit. The Su Casa Market Garden is located on Chicago’s South Side, behind the historic main Su Casa building. Community members and visitors to the farm can also volunteer at the Catholic Worker’s soup kitchen and food pantry, where much of the garden’s produce is prepared and served.
