University of Wisconsin gives a lending hand to SJOM

Thursday, April 23, 2009

On March 19th, 2009, the University of Wisconsin landed on Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood to connect and to help. They were too many so a few headed to SJOM. Thier visit to SJOM proved to be productive since they took on the task of organizing our pantry and painting the stairs. The group was a lively one and we shared lunch with the participants. The students asked many questions and talked to some of the participants as they ate to find out more on the causes of homelessness.

SJOM's board, staff, and participants are grateful to the University of Wisconsin students and thankful for believing in our work.
