LPCS Chicago

LPCS been floored by the outpouring of support from the community in response to COVID-19. Unfortunately, it appears that this difficult time is far from over, and we anticipate several more weeks of not being able to have all staff and volunteers on-site. Like many of you, it has become difficult for us to obtain much needed supplies, including hand sanitizer, toilet paper, paper towels and other imperative items. And furthermore we have regular maintenance issues to address which are particularly important at this time as we want to ensure our Guests are as comfortable as possible having to spend so much uninterrupted time inside our facilities. We anticipate that maintenance services will be extra expensive during this time. In response to all of this, we are asking you to support our Guests and our tireless team through the LPCS COVID-19 Emergency Fund. We have set a goal of raising $40,000 a we do not intend to lay off any of our incredibly dedicated staff and, as mentioned, are offering incentive/hazard pay to those individuals working at the front lines in our shelters. We anticipate having to do this for a total of 8 weeks. We also know that we will need to purchase extra supplies to support our Guests through this difficult time.
