Overview
The Port Ministries is a nonprofit organization servicing Chicago’s “Back of the Yards” community. Inspired by St. Francis of Assisi and the Franciscan Charism, The Port hopes to provide the fundamental needs of the body, mind and spirit. We do this by providing the community with free programming and services to help better themselves and their families. The comprehensive and integrated services of The Port Ministries, although not unique, are rare in their unified scope. They not only address the basic need of food, healthcare, and education, but also attack the root problems of poverty, hunger and despair. By empowering children and families with the necessary spiritual counseling, training and support, The Port aids in providing the community the opportunity to improve their economic situation and enhance their lives.
