Ravenswood Community Services began as an outreach program of All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Chicago’s north side Ravenswood neighborhood. In 1993, parishioners began distributing bags of groceries through the front door of the church to about 20 neighbors in need each week. By 1998, the grocery distribution program expanded to include a weekly hot meal. In 2001, All Saints’ formally launched Ravenswood Community Services (RCS), a separate 501(c)(3) non-profit agency focused on helping to alleviate hunger in the community.
