Lincoln Park Presbyterian Church

Lincoln Park Presbyterian Church in Chicago supports asylum seekers and refugees.

Lincoln Park Presbyterian Church in Chicago is actively involved in the Faith Community Initiative to address the city's severe housing crisis and support thousands of asylum seekers and refugees currently housed in police districts. Having begun housing asylum seekers four years ago, the church currently provides shelter to a family of four and has decided to convert its meeting room into a second family's living space. The church accompanies these families until they obtain work authorization, secure employment, save money, and find their own apartments. To support this effort, the church aims to raise $1,400 per month, totaling $16,800, and currently holds $2,500 in its Asylum Fund. The church invites individuals to contribute any amount to this fund, noting that all donations are tax-deductible as the church is a non-profit organization. Donations can be made online or by mailing or bringing checks and cash to the church on Sunday or during office hours, with donors requested to specify that the contribution is for the 'Asylum' fund.
