We are deeply saddened by the passing of Virginia McCaskey, a true pillar of generosity and compassion.

Virginia McCaskey’s dedication to service and her unwavering commitment to our community will never be forgotten. We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, the Bears organization, and all those whose lives she touched. Rest in peace, Virginia. Your legacy of kindness lives on. ????

12,000 Chicago youth are seeking shelter this holiday season and the risks they face are especially high at this time of year, due to age-related mental health, rampant discrimination against LGBTQ+ people, and human trafficking. Can you help us provide more youth with food, housing and critical assistance to make their holidays brighter? Just $25 provides 5 meals for youth experiencing homelessness. https://lnkd.in/g3x8vcQd #YouthHomelessness #HolidayGiving #EndYouthHomelessness #CovenantHouse #ChicagoNonprofit #ChicagoYouth #ChicagoCares #HousingForAll
