CU Canteen Run, established in 2002, is a volunteer run initiative that thrives because of servant hearts in the community who gift their time and donations to meet the daily needs of our homeless friends. The Canteen is a mobile unit provided by Salvation Army that is active multiple nights each week in Champaign-Urbana. The volunteers on the Canteen Run distribute essentials like food, blankets, clothing, hygiene products, fellowship and aid. The Canteen team is made up of church partners, individuals, and like-minded organizations who become friends to those who are living without a roof of their own.
