You care about
making a difference. We care about
making it easy.
Chicago
Cares builds stronger communities in
Chicago through volunteerism. We work
closely with community leaders to
identify and research critical needs. We
then develop targeted group volunteer
programs and mobilize thousands of
volunteers to address those needs.
Our
programs make Chicago a better place to
live for everyone. Today our initiatives
focus on six areas of concern:
Children's and Adult Education,
Environment, Hunger, Health and
Wellness, and Senior Services.
