For more than 35 years, the Council of Religious Leaders of Metropolitan Chicago has conducted the Annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Observance hosted and co-sponsored by the Chicago Temple at First United Methodist Church. 

The disruptions of the pandemic have jeopardized the basic needs of too many of our neighbors. The Council of Religious Leaders of Metropolitan Chicago is collecting funds to feed the hungry this holiday season. Funding for meals will be distributed to direct meal providers affiliated with Members of the Council. All proceeds will be shared. ​

Please remember our neighbors in need and share the bounty and spirit of this season.
