HERE ARE SOME ORGANIZATIONS DOING AMAZING THINGS:

  • Naomi's House

    “Everything we do is geared toward restoring what has been lost in the evil and violence of trafficking. Through a trauma-informed, holistic approach, our team is helping women heal and achieve hundreds of personal goals. Rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and committed to the full mental, emotional, and spiritual healing of each survivor, we operate under the belief that she is the best advocate for her own care.”

  • Outreach

    Outreach is “transforming lives and communities by creating opportunities where barriers exist; by loving our neighbors in word and deed; and by shining the light of hope on all peoples’ God-given potential. We’re here to let our vulnerable neighbors know they are valued. They’re capable. They’re loved for who they are right now. And we’re here to show them how to use educational, social, emotional, and spiritual tools so they can create their own unique path forward.”

    Services include Youth Development, Family Stabilization, Transitional Housing, Employment Training, Community Services, and Counseling.

  • World Relief Chicagoland

    “World Relief is a global Christian humanitarian organization whose mission is to empower the local church to serve the most vulnerable. We aim to tackle the world’s greatest problems with holistic, locally-driven solutions that lead to lasting change — whether in response to disasters, extreme poverty, violence, oppression or mass displacement and immigration.

    At World Relief Chicagoland, we come alongside refugees and other immigrants in vulnerable situations as they rebuild their lives in the United States.“

  • By the Hand

    “By The Hand is a Christ-centered, after-school program that takes kids by the hand and walks with them from kindergarten through college, loving and nurturing them—mind, body and soul.

    With locations strategically located throughout Chicago’s most dangerous and under-resourced neighborhoods, By The Hand is serving kids where the need is greatest.”

  • Lawndale Christian Health Center

    “Lawndale Christian Health Center is working to improve the health and wellbeing of the patients who have chosen us as their medical home, as well as the health of the communities around us. We provide high quality services that are accessible and affordable regardless of a patient’s insurance status.

    Our approach to health incorporates more than just medical care. We believe that emotional, spiritual, and mental health are of equal importance, which is why you’ll find us continuing to expand services like behavioral health, treatment for opioid use disorder, and weekday programming for seniors. In addition, we operate a fitness center, café, event venues, and urban farm that allow us to invite the whole community into our mission – whether they seek medical care with us or not.

    All of this is built on a foundation of faith – our values and mission are shaped by the love of Jesus Christ. Our identity is summarized by our slogan, “Loving God, loving people.””
