Hesed House
Hesed House is a comprehensive homeless resource center based in Aurora, Illinois, whose mission is to feed the hungry, clothe those in need, shelter the homeless, and restore hope. As the second-largest homeless shelter in Illinois and the largest outside Chicago, it brings together a campus of specialized professionals and partner agencies to support over a thousand individuals and families annually through shelter and three housing programs. Beyond providing a safe place to stay, Hesed House offers help with housing, life skills, legal issues, health and mental health needs, and rebuilding support systems so people can return to independent living.
Pan de Vida Fresh Market
Pan de Vida Fresh Market is a community care initiative that provides fresh, dignified food access as a doorway into deeper relationships and support. They offer weekly distributions of produce, dry goods, meat, milk, and dairy so families can consistently meet essential needs. Launched in 2010 by a mother–daughter team serving 100 families a week, Pan de Vida grew dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic, partnering with the Greater Chicago Food Depository to reach over 6,000 families weekly and ultimately feeding more than 1.8 million people. Today, with 7 distribution sites, a dedicated staff and youth hires, and hundreds of volunteers, Pan de Vida’s vision goes beyond groceries—using food as the vehicle to build beloved community, connect neighbors to resources, and bring hope and healing to Chicago’s West Side.
Hood Heroes
Hood Heroes is a Chicago-based program that employs youth to become the heroes of their own neighborhoods through paid work, mentorship, and leadership development. Serving students roughly ages 11–22 on the South and West Sides, the program focuses on community beautification, career exploration, and character formation. Through summer employment, consistent guidance, and real responsibility in their communities, Hood Heroes invests in the next generation of Chicago’s leaders while transforming the places they call home.
PCC Community Wellness Center
PCC Community Wellness Center is a comprehensive, community-based health provider dedicated to delivering compassionate, high-quality care to individuals and families. Their approach is explicitly patient-focused and rooted in core values of Community, Ownership, and Empowerment: partnering with patients, promoting health equity, taking responsibility for excellent care, and equipping both staff and community members to thrive. Through this model and a deeply relational posture, PCC positions itself not just as a clinic, but as a long-term partner in each person’s health journey. We support their Babu’s Baby Closet program—a space created to ensure every family delivering with PCC begins their journey with care, comfort, and dignity.
