About
This program kicked off in May 2023 to address the new migrant crisis in the city of Chicago. Our main task is to help move new arriving families into apartments and furnish their homes. This is a collaborative effort with other non-profit organizations and city & state governments. We also deliver 3 hot meals daily to people staying in police stations and respite centers. We offer free showers to those staying in police stations 2 times a week, in partnership with ShowerUp.
