Mission

Help vulnerable individuals and families in the chicago neighborhoods of edgewater, andersonville, rogers park, uptown, bowmanville, and west ridge overcome difficult times by providing food, clothing, referral, and other services.

Programs

2 programs

Clothing distribution program - like the hunger relief program, the clothing distribution program helps our low-income, vulnerable neighbors save money on clothes so they can afford health care and housing. Seasonally appropriate, new and gently used donated clothing is collected from retailers, organizations and individuals and provided free to our clients. Donated personal care items essential for healthy living are also collected and distributed to those in need.

Expenses: $437KGrants: $373K

Pet pantry - the pet pantry provides free pet food and supplies to clients so they don't have to choose between feeding their families and feeding thier pets (or giving up their pets to a shelter). Donated pet food and supplies are collected from local retailers, distributors, veterinarians, and individuals in our community.
