GAP Community Center is a safe haven for numerous immigrants that migrate to the US from Central America as well as the Caribbeans. Our goal is to allow adults and children to excel in our community by providing them with their essential needs. In 2022, when our government opened the borders, GAP Community Center partnered with the City of Chicago to provide emergency services for these families and individuals. Although the City of Chicago was unable to provide shelter for the immigrants, we were fortunate enough to render them with access to our facility at the Revive Center which provided not only a temporary place of security, but also warm showers, clothing, and hot meals. Upon arrival, we studied the needs of each individual and concluded that their needs were much greater than our initial assessment. Within the first 24 hours of our interactions with each person, we were able to offer assistance with multiple services that would be of great benefit to each person individually. Because of the hardships they had to endure while traveling, we observed that there was a great need for medical assistance, housing, and education for both adults and children. Between the months of August and October, Gap Community Center was able to provide over 2,000 immigrants with their essential needs such as rental assistance, public aid, medical care and education. Currently, we are still able to assist multiple immigrants with these services that come to our facility on a weekly basis and we hope that you will join us in saving more lives in the many years to come. Services we assist: Food Hygiene products Clothes: T-shirts, Pants, Shoes undergarments etc. School for children, needs assessment, Public aid application, medical appointments, immigrant appointments, assist with locating legal aid.
