Every day we offer a lifeline to our most vulnerable neighbors.

We serve everyone without concern for race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

60,000 Chicagoans experience homelessness a year. Each year, we serve thousands of young people and adults who are unhoused or struggling with poverty.

With an open heart, we compassionately accept each individual as they are and work alongside them to advocate for their immediate physical, emotional, and social needs while affirming our shared humanity.
