A Place of Refuge; Chicago After School Center

Thanks to you, kids have a safe place to go after school. Instead of going home alone while their families are at work, our kids are learning to play soccer and make art, forming friendships with peers and relationships with adult mentors, and improving their grades at our Homework Help Center.

At Alberta’s Lillie Inc., we continue to be a place of refuge for those in disadvantage communities. We sincerely hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy during these times.

The communities we serve consist of a mixed population of migrant workers, domestic workers, laborers, daily wage earners, and others who heavily rely on government assistance for life necessities. Our efforts support the most vulnerable families, who are under-employed or unemployed and lack life’s bare necessities and find themselves with no jobs & food and are hit hardest by the 40 year inflation highs. The inflation rates have disrupted their lives. They live through their small savings and by borrowing money and raw essentials. But as there is no immediate end in sight, these families have exhausted all their resources and means.
