Matthew House has been awarded the Hidden Jewel of the Neighborhood Award from Jewel Food Stores

Matthew House, a not-for-profit, tax-exempt, community-based organization, provides shelter, food, clothing, and supportive services to needy men, women, and children. We strive to promote the continuous building and strengthening of the community by enabling them to reclaim and maintain control over their lives.

Contact us today for more information on our organization that offers supportive services including food and clothing, as well as a homeless shelter in Chicago, Illinois.

On behalf of the entire Matthew House Family; namely our guests, staff and members of the Board of Directors, I would like to extend to each of you a special  holiday greeting, and a heartfelt thanks for all of your support of Matthew House.  Your kindness and generosity has helped Matthew House be able to continue to serve the homeless.
As you are aware, a large number of individuals and families in our country are suffering through some very difficult financial times, and like all non-profit social service agencies, we struggle to do more work with fewer resources.  However, in spite of the difficult times we have remained true to our core agency’s value to “never turn anyone away who needs our help.”
I am very hopeful about the future of Matthew House, and the direction in which we are headed.  While we face daily challenges, we never lose hope because we are committed to helping the less fortunate who come to us.
You have been there for Matthew House in the past as a faithful supporter.  As we strive to be accountable and to fulfill our mission to “serve the needy,” we ask for your continued support.

Happy Holidays

Waymon T. Starks
Board President
