TRACKING OUR PROGRESS
Planning has been underway for months, and on January 25, 2017, dedicated staff, interns and volunteers from NWC will seek out those in our community without a home. Between 8pm and 2am, we will conduct a tally and survey of every homeless person, including a canvass of the streets and public spaces for those unsheltered.
We do this to track our progress and to better understand factors surrounding homelessness in our community. But, most importantly, we count our undomiciled neighbors in an effort to generate the support and services they need and deserve. Please help us insure their voices are heard.
Without the support of a caring community, we would not be able to continue helping our neighbors turn crisis into opportunity. Learn more about how we help the homeless, hungry and heroes in our community.
If you would like to help us support our neighbors in the Northwest suburbs through crisis, please Donate today. Northwest Compass is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your gift is tax deductible as allowed by law.
