Local folks — quick note that the FB group that was formed to help our new migrant neighbors has renamed itself to Oak Park Supports and expanded its mission to general support for those in need, now that the original group of new migrant neighbors are all settled.
From group owner Lisa Desai: “I am super excited to announce that we are partnering with Housing Forward to get home goods and furniture to those that need it. All items donated at Boulevard Church will now be shared with HF clients and anyone else in the community who could benefit from the items there. HF will come weekly to get items that they need to please keep the donations coming they are very much needed!”
For those interested in getting involved, the group is here:
