The Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center Chicago
The Kroc Center was originally established to help get children off the streets and into a safe, productive environment. The center offers arts programs as well as sports/fitness programs, helping countless children and families around the city. There are donation opportunities as well as volunteer opportunities accessible in the link underneath the informational video below.
Plan of Action
Aside from visiting these websites and getting involved, the most important thing to do is learn as best as you can yourself and share this website with your friends and family. The more people who know, the more of a difference we can make. If you can send on a blast email or put up the link on Facebook, then the word will be spread that much further. I will be sending out a mass email with this link, and if every one of the viewers can do the same, it will go far. So if you get an email with this link, just send it on. The more people who know, the more of a difference we can make.
