650 Families Served Through Community Effort and Compassion

May 29, 2026 | Campus Ministry, School News

What happens when students, staff, and community partners come together with a shared purpose? Thursday, May 13, the answer was clear: hope in action.

In partnership with Northern Illinois Food Bank, Cristo Rey St. Martin College Prep hosted a grocery distribution that provided food for more than 650 families in our community.

After a full day of classes and work, students and staff stayed after school to volunteer their time, helping organize, distribute, and load groceries for neighbors in need. Their dedication and willingness to serve reflected the mission-driven spirit of our school and the power of community working together.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make this event possible and proud to continue supporting families across our area through meaningful partnerships and service.
