Brunch, Baskets and Brushes…


CCIL hosts Easter meal for homeless families

CCIL hosted a complimentary Easter brunch for its residents and citizens in the North Lawndale community on Sunday, March 23, 2008. More than 40 volunteers served a delicious meal of egg bake, turkey, ham, dressing, vegetables, biscuits and gravy, fruit, pastries and assorted beverages to at least 250 disadvantaged families. Easter baskets overflowing with treats were distributed to children of all ages. Volunteers also collected and distributed kits of toothpaste, floss and toothbrushes throughout the day.

CCIL Executive Director Judy McIntyre said, “Great progress is being made in assisting those facing unbearable challenges and obstacles. CCIL is thankful to be a in a position where we can provide much needed services to our residents and the community. We couldn’t do the work we do without the help of our dedicated volunteers and staff.”
