If you’ve ever wished you could give something more impactful than your spare change to the homeless, this resource list for the homeless in Chicago can help.
This card lists organizations vetted by Better that will provide food, shelter, or other helpful services in the Chicago region.
In other words, now you can go beyond spare change to hand someone homeless a direct route to an authentically more hopeful future. All they need to do is walk through the front door at one of the institutions listed and a nourishing meal and fresh start will be within reach.
