Cathedral Shelter of Chicago
- Cathedral Shelter of Chicago
The Cathedral Shelter of Chicago was founded in 1915. It began as a storefront mission of the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago, providing food and clothing to the hungry, homeless, and poor. In 1920, they began offering substance abuse treatment. Under the leadership of Father David Gibson, an Episcopal priest, the shelter was of great importance during the Great Depression.

The Cathedral Shelter serves the poor of Chicago. Most are currently or formerly homeless and recovering from addiction. Many have been incarcerated, typically on drug-related charges. In 2001 the organization was given a $75,000 grant by the state of Illinois to support its food delivery to the aged. [Citation | last = | first = | author-link = | last2 = | first2 =
