Respond Now

A huge thank you to our incredible community supporters for their recent donations helping stock Respond Now’s pantry and support neighbors across the south suburbs! 💚🧡

We’re grateful to Homewood Public Library, Delta Sigma Theta, and Troop 112 Boy Scouts of America for their recent donations of pantry items and canned goods.

Every donation helps provide food assistance to local individuals and families facing hardship. Thank you for supporting our communities.

We’re honored to have recently received a Rotary plaque from the Rotary Club of Chicago Heights-Park Forest in recognition of our partnership and shared commitment to serving neighbors throughout the southern suburbs of Chicago.

Thank you to the Rotary members who recently visited Respond Now and toured our newly remodeled facility. Community partnerships like this help make our mission possible, and we truly appreciate the continued support. 💙🧡💚

We are honored to receive support from Canadian National Railway Company through their Railroaders for Change initiative dedicated to preventing homelessness. This generous investment will help Respond Now continue providing rental, mortgage, and utility assistance that helps local families remain safely housed during times of hardship.

Together, we are building safer, stronger, and more resilient communities. Thank you, for supporting homelessness prevention efforts across the south suburbs.

We’re proud to support our amazing community partner, Scott’s U-Save Tires & Auto Repair, during their May Diaper Drive! 💚🧡

Throughout the month of May, bring in 32 or more diapers to any Scott’s U-Save location and receive:
🚗 $180 OFF a set of four tires
🔧 OR $50 OFF repairs over $299

Diapers are one of the most requested — and least publicly funded — essentials for families with young children. Every donation helps support parents and caregivers in our community.

Scott’s U-Save is aiming to collect 10,000+ diapers across all locations, and we’d love to see our community help make that happen!

Thank you to Scott’s U-Save for being such a generous and longtime supporter of Respond Now and the families we serve. 💛
