Outreach Chicago

Our outreach workers visit homeless clients on a regular basis to get feedback about their needs. And our outreach is designed to service homeless and low-income individuals, and families who are under served by existing agencies and clients who aren’t able or willing to seek services from other social service agencies. The majority of our clients suffer from mental and abuse issues. Some have suffered chaotic situations in shelters. Therefore, it is essential that we build a relationship with our clients. Our relationship with them allows us to provide advice. As a result, our clients are more willing to accept referral information, health, and informational flyers.
Outreach Chicago provides emergency-based services through our three core programs. 1.) Our Lunchtime Program provides nutritional bag lunches for homeless individuals, families, refugees, and immigrants. 2.) Our Personal Hygiene Products Program distributes men, women and baby hygiene products, pampers, and baby wipes. 3.) The Clothing / Winter Gear Programs distributes New or lightly worn, recently cleaned coats, socks, T-shirts, gloves, knit caps, and sweaters. Outreach Chicago’s goal is to move homeless, low-income families and individuals toward a life of greater health and personal stability.

We want to engage in new partnerships that will help us promote better program strategies. We will hold periodic fundraisers with volunteer musical artist and motivational speakers. And encourage our supporters to support our cause on various fundraising platforms. And acquire more funding to expand our space to accommodate rooms for computer literacy classes, peer groups( for youth,and ex-offenders), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder groups for veterans, and abuse victims, GED classes and a community food pantry.

Currently, we provide services through direct donations from monthly donors. Through food,clothing, and hygiene product drives using e-mails and events at churches, and ads placed on Google Ad words.
