Am Yisrael enjoys a special relationship with Family Promise Chicago North Shore. This wonderful organization is dedicated to helping families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless get back on their feet and provide a stable lifestyle for their children. For one week, twice a year, we provide housing and meals for the clients of Family Promise. The program is strictly supervised and clients are carefully screened. While in our buildings, our congregants volunteer to serve them meals, socialize with the clients and stay overnight.
Headed up by Annette Doherty and Aleeza Strubel, we have a loyal and reliable pool of volunteers, but we are always looking to increase our numbers.
