Review for Good News Partners, Chicago, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Our Parish has been supporting Good News Partners financially for many years because they have done an exceptional job in serving the homeless in the Rogers Park area. This year our parish partnered with them to paint, repair, and generally clean-up various buildings under their care. It was a true partnership with staff, clients, and parishioners all involved. Because our working together allowed us to get to know the people of the community, we did not feel like we were dispensing charity. We felt like we were given a glimpse of the Kingdom of God.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

talking with many of the volunteers that work there and the clients who live there. I can see the difference this organization is doing for those they seek to help as well as those who seek to help them.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

the strong relationship that all the staff has with the volunteers who help.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

exceptionally dedicated, knowledgeable, friendly, and capable.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

provide additional housing and a "hand-up" for the increasing number of people who are becoming homeless in the Chciago area.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every six months
