“I rely on the Chicago Tool Library more than any other resource in the city! Many of us want to get into DIY, but it is expensive getting all of the tools. Not to mention if you are living in an apartment, like me, there is no place to put everything. Chicago Tool Library has allowed me to practice new skills without draining my money and worrying about space. They are always kind and helpful, while putting community first. I tell everyone to check them out!”
“We are so grateful to have had our wedding at the Nineteenth Century Charitable Association (NCCA)! Woody and his team were wonderful to work with - from first touring the venue to clean-up the morning after. Set in the beautiful neighborhood of Oak Park, the NCCA is surrounded by community parks and historic homes by Frank Loyd Wright. We also had easy access to the local hotel to host our guests overnight. This wedding venue is reasonably priced with true historic charm. The food and beverages were excellent. We held our ceremony/cocktail hour on the first floor and reception on the second floor, comfortably accommodating our guest count of 175 people. Woody is responsive and flexible. He is willing to support creative endeavors to make your wedding feel original. We feel so fortunate to have found the NCCA to host our wedding - we would absolutely recommend it to you!”

“I want to thank the beautiful women at Northwest Compass Mt Prospect for assisting me with my financial hardship. It was literally at the point of no return and things could have gotten drastically worse had they not stepped in to mitigate and advocate on my behalf. I saw the gospel being played out in real time as these women fought for me. I sat in another room but could see through the window how they were leaning forward sitting down on the phone speaking with my debt collector and were displaying love and passion for their jobs and me, their neighbor. We hit some walls along the way but my case worker Brianna McGahee patiently and persistently found a solution for me that has changed the trajectory of my finances in an indescribable way. I want to personally thank Brianna for not giving up on me when it looked like we were out of options. With her by my side it felt like there is always an option on the table. It’s just a matter of having the will to roll up the sleeves and get down in the dirt with someone to give them a hand up.
I highly recommend Brianna for any promotion or pay raise that is available for her. We need more people like her in the field helping those truly in need.
Thanks again to all the women involved in helping me. Praise God! God bless you all!”
“My case manager signed me up for the Cycle of Power Program and I quickly received a refurbished bicycle, bike lock, lights, and helmet! It rides like a dream and is enabling me to commute to from point a to point b with ease. I can now doordash on my new bike and I'm getting back into shape. Thanks working bikes. I love your mission.”
“What an absolutely fantastic organization! People from all over the country talk about how unique the Chicago Jewish community is to have an organization that supports them through so many avenues like Chesed Chicago does. They do it with dignity and anonymously. I wouldn’t be able to mention in one post all the ways they help, but we are talking about groceries, furniture, every day essentials, toys, bikes, baby needs, financial support and advice, etc.
We are truly blessed!”
“It's a beautiful site to visit and you can get everything you need there for the day. I go there on Sundays for the speaker meeting and the breakfast beforehand and I always leave with food for the soul because you only get to live one day at a time.”

“We are relatively new to the USA. Last summer, after moving to Chicago, my We are relatively new to the USA. Last summer, after moving to Chicago, my wife and I decided to improve our English skills. My wife found an ad on the Internet for summer courses, which were organized by Trellus. To enroll, we had to take placement tests to determine our level. These were the first tests we took in the U.S. We were a bit nervous, but the staff was friendly and made us feel welcome. Based on the results of a computer test, reading, and writing exercises, we were placed in the highest-level classes offered by Trellus. That’s the only reason why, after passing the final test, we continued studying at a local college in the fall instead of staying with Trellus.
Now, with experience from other courses, I can say that the quality of teaching at Trellus was one of the best, and the teachers' motivation to help students was truly remarkable. The language program was designed to meet the practical needs of people who had recently arrived in the U.S. The practical tasks were based on real-life situations that people often face. You were constantly engaged in the learning process, and every day provided useful knowledge. Besides the main course, we had the chance to attend speaking and writing clubs. There was even an English language Olympiad, which was organized creatively and made the experience enjoyable. Afterwards, the organizers and participants treated each other to dishes from their national cuisines.

We're looking forward to returning for painting lessons and art anytime in the future!”
