Chicago area high school students donated sweatshirts to Lincoln Park Community Services, which helps secure housing for people experiencing homeless.
That is what took place on Sunday morning when a group of Chicago-area high school student athletes dropped off around 1000 sweatshirts at Lincoln Park Community Services, a local nonprofit that helps the homeless secure stable housing across the city.
"Giving the sweatshirts should make us realize as student athletes to be grateful about what we're given and value the simple things in life," said Mia Loza, who attends De La Salle High School."I'm really grateful I can give back to my community and, like, being from Chicago, I can help the people around me," Strnic said.
"Homeless doesn't just mean standing on a street corner or on Lower Wacker drive. It may mean someone who is couch surfing, who may need to be in their car," said Joe Trost with Buddy's Helpers.
