Please Help Asylum Seekers in Chicago

Looking for a simple way to support the thousands of immigrants who have recently arrived (many on busses from border cities) in the Chicago area seeking asylum?

The Immigrant Solidarity Team of the Unitarian Church of Evanston is partnering with a local adhoc group of volunteers to help asylum seekers currently living in police stations, schools, park district buildings, colleges and other public buildings around Chicago.

 

From June 5-26 we are collecting:

● Thick Yoga Mats or Sleeping Pads

● Sleeping Bags and Clean Blankets

● New Socks and Underwear all sizes

● Back packs and small suitcases

● OTC Cold Medicine (adults and kids)

● Lice Treatment Kits

 

Drop Off at UCE

Dates: June 5-26 Monday-Friday during office hours 10:30-4:30

Sunday immediately before or after the 10:30 service. Please contact Michelle Novak through the Realm or theUCE office or comment and DM me on messenger if you have questions or need pickup or drop off arrangements.

 

Thank you in advance for your support!
