PAT SPOTLIGHTS A LOCAL CHARITY LINCOLN PARK COMMUNITY SERVICES by Pat Cummings
This month, I want to bring to your attention a local charity that I believe in: Lincoln Park Community Services. Located about two blocks from our house in Chicago, LPCS has been committed to serving adults in Chicago who have been experiencing homelessness for over 30 years. My wife, Caitlin, and I were introduced to LPCS by our friend Danny Hart, who is a member of the Associate Board and has been volunteering at LPCS for years. Over the last few years, Caitlin and I have had the chance to attend several fundraisers and meal preparations at LPCS. We have seen firsthand the great work that these folks do on a day-to-day basis. At LPCS, more than 400 individuals each year receive interim housing, personalized case management, meals, access to resources, community outreach programs, and an array of social service programs. LPCS relies on more than 2,000 volunteers and the support of committed community partners. There is a volunteer on-site in some capacity 24/7, from meal volunteers and mentors to class instructors and overnight volunteers. For more information on how to be part of the LPCS volunteer community, please visit lpcsonline.org/get-involved or contact them at volunteer@lpcsonline.org.
