Uptown Cafe logoThe JUF Uptown Cafe is Chicago's first kosher anti-hunger program for the needy. In addition to providing hot meals in a restaurant-style setting, the JUF Uptown Cafe program brings dignity and hope to people in need. The JUF Uptown Cafe feeds Jews and non-Jews alike and is open three days a week for dinner and on Sundays for brunch.

Volunteer Responsibilities

Uptown CafeVolunteers serve food and converse with guests at their tables. Volunteers are encouraged to enjoy a meal with guests, as many diners are socially isolated and in need of person-to-person contact. Volunteers ages 12 and over are welcome but, if under 18, must be accompanied by an adult.

Volunteer Schedule

Volunteers are needed to serve dinner Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and for brunch on Sunday mornings from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. All Cafe volunteer scheduling is done over the phone. Sign up now.
