Programs that address immediate needs and create lasting change in Chicago
Five interconnected programs designed to meet people where they are — and help them get where they want to be.
For families facing unexpected crises — job loss, illness, eviction — our Emergency Assistance program delivers immediate relief. We provide grocery boxes, utility bill support, emergency financial grants, and case management to help families stabilize quickly.
100+ families served annuallyEducation is the surest path out of poverty. We provide after-school tutoring for K–12 students, school supply distributions, scholarship grants for college-bound seniors, and academic mentorship from community volunteers dedicated to student success.
Scholarships awarded each yearOur job training program empowers adults with the skills and confidence to find meaningful work. Services include resume writing, interview coaching, digital literacy training, and direct employer connections through our Chicago business network.
82% employment rate within 6 monthsAccess to healthcare is a right, not a privilege. We connect community members with health screenings, mental health referrals, wellness education workshops, and assistance navigating health insurance enrollment for uninsured or underinsured residents.
Free community health eventsWe go where people are. Our outreach team partners with local churches, attends community events, and hosts neighborhood resource fairs to ensure that no one falls through the cracks. Seasonal drives include back-to-school, Thanksgiving, and holiday programs.
Multiple neighborhood events per yearAll of our programs are open to Chicago-area residents. There is no cost to apply. To get started, reach out to us directly — our team will help determine which programs fit your situation and walk you through the process.
