Then, I had the privilege of joining families at the @skokielibrary who spent their day giving back in honor of Dr. King. This blanket is one of many that will be going to @connect2home. I really enjoyed talking with so many young people who are looking to make a difference.

Thanks to our incredible Wildkit community, the Empty Bowl fundraiser organized by our Community Service Office raised over $6,000 for @connect2home. Special thanks to our talented Ceramics students for crafting the beautiful bowls and our Nutrition Services Department for the delicious soups! 🥣🧡 📸: Mariah Torres, Class of 2025

Law Center statement on today's #JohnsonVGrantsPass hearing: Punishing people for sleeping outside when there's nowhere else to go is cruel and unusual. #HousingNotHandcuffs #HomelessnessIsSolvable Read the full statement here: loom.ly/DfxFZl8

Arresting people for sleeping on the streets only keeps people homeless for longer. And it distracts from real solutions like those we see working in our community. #HomelessnessIsSolvable #JohnsonVGrantsPass bit.ly/3xmp8dv

🚨If #SCOTUS rules in favor of Grants Pass, it will authorize cities and states to punish people forced to sleep outdoors with arrest and steep fines, even when they have no other safe option. We need housing solutions, not fines 🏘️. #HomelessnessIsSolvable #JohnsonVGrantsPass

Housing not handcuffs! #HomelessnessIsSolvable

We're all Inn, and there's finally paperwork to prove it! evanstonroundtable.com/2023/12/21/con…

There are only 10 days left in the year, and we're trying to raise $100,000 so we can continue to provide essential services for our neighbors, like LC, who now has a place to stay and the care he needs to address his health. connect2home.givecloud.co/product/Health…

Health and housing are intrinsically linked. Listen to LC discuss his increased abilities to care for his health through Connections' services #healthcare #housingishealthcare #endinghomelessness

Yesterday, homelessness service providers, advocates, and experts met for discussion of the state of homelessness and homeless services in the Northern Cook County suburbs at the annual AHAND Legislative Breakfast. #endinghomelessness

Today, we held our annual Gift of Giving event. More than 150 donors purchased gifts for almost 600 of their neighbors. The magic of the season is about giving *and* receiving. A huge thank you to the volunteers, donors, and staff who made today's event a success. #HappyHolidays

You can't understand homelessness in Evanston and the northern suburbs without understanding what's happening with homelessness in Chicago. Check out this piece by Chicago's urban historian Shermann "Dilla" Thomas. thetriibe.com/2023/11/opinio…

It's #GivingTuesday! Consider making a gift to Connections today in honor of this globally recognized day of generosity so we can continue to provide the care our community needs. Make a gift here: connect2home.givecloud.co/product/Health…

💡THIS is the room where it happened! Yesterday, #Evanston's youth-serving agencies known as "The Collective" met to learn more about one another, and discuss our shared values and goals. #CollectiveAction #JusticeReNews

@janschakowsky 👏👏👏

As a society, we can't grow accustomed to homelessness. We must do more. I secured $2 million for @connect2home to reopen Hilda's place, an overnight shelter in Evanston. All people deserve a decent place to lay their head & the resources needed to thrive.audacy.com/wxrt/news/loca…
