Last year 5 of our members experiencing homelessness successfully completed the 2011 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Through training, determination, and a newfound belief in themselves, these members achieved a goal that only a few months prior had seemed impossible. We captured the marathon journey of three of our members on VIDEO. Your support will make it possible for us to provide much needed-assistance to those in our program like, Anthony, Issac and Wahid who are working hard to build a brighter future.To make a donation click here.
