Garden Retreat
Nestled in a beautiful garden between Altgeld and N. Maplewood Ave.
This Three-Tier House has dual purposes. Nourishing bellies along with increasing literacy in children by the way of reading. The top house, along with the left shed is designated for young readers. The primary focus on the bottom right shed is providing essential food items and seasonal attire.. Funding for the project was made possible by Blessed by Barker's and Carmelita Tiu. Special Thanks to Nancy at Neighbor to Neighbor Literacy for helping us with installation!

Yellow Showstopper
Our Humboldt Park box is located near North Ave. & California. On Luis Munoz Marin Dr.
Watch out Chicago, because our Yellow Show-stopping box is shining brightly in Humboldt Park. With many encampments surrounding Humboldt Park, Blessed By Barker's wanted to shed love and light to our unhoused neighbors. Come take a look for yourself and leave an item or two to help our neighbors in this area.
