100 Years Rich in Presbyterian Heritage…
Representatives from Oak Lawn Community Church, Berkeley-Hillside Presbyterian Church, Northminster Presbyterian and 1st Presbyterian Church in Waukegan congregated at CCIL earlier this week for a special Presbyterian Outreach Day. CCIL, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering Chicago’s homeless, was founded in the Presbyterian faith by Reverend George Kilbey in 1909. CCIL’s focus was on helping men who were down and out – the mission has since evolved.
“There’s been a strong relationship between Chicago area Presbyterian churches and CCIL throughout the last 100 years. We very much want to continue strengthening our bond with the Presbyterian communities and hope this special Presbyterian Outreach Day was a true testament of the great work being done at CCIL,” said Patti Blagojevich, CCIL Development Director.
Distinguished Presbyterian Outreach Day guests, consisting of reverends, clergy and CCIL board members, experienced today’s CCIL while touring the new eco-friendly, $25,000,000 facility, hearing compelling resident success stories and enjoying a delicious lunch prepared by CCIL’s Foodservice Training program trainees.
