Local Board Meeting this Wednesday

There aren't many meetings that many folks look forward to. But the Chicago Board of Directors is a meeting of creative minds and willing hands.
For many years, Brenda Matthews has given heart and soul to our board. Words can't express our gratitude but we can say Thank you. Thank you Brenda for your years of service to this community and to guiding and inspiring us.

Dwell in Chicago


In the last week or so, I have gotten to experience Chicago anew. When seeing the city through 6 new-to-Chicago pairs of eyes it is a great joy to relearn my city. This week as Katie, Stephanie, Mara, Tad, Nathaniel, and Brian started their placements and settle into a routine of their life here in Chicago, my prayer is that they continue to see and engage Chicago in new ways.
