The new site will be supervised by Site Coordinator Antonica James and staffed by trained volunteers from neighboring colleges. The Pilsen office is eager to work with the University of Chicago to recruit volunteers and establish university partnerships to better serve LIFT clients seeking assistance.
The LIFT-Chicago, Pilsen site will join LIFT-Chicago, Uptown to serve Chicago residents. Last year, the Uptown center served over 670 clients and LIFT-Chicago is anticipating significant growth in the number of Chicagoans served with the addition of the new Pilsen center.
