Donate to Support Homeless & At-Risk Students
Donate Today: Your Generosity Creates Opportunity
North Cook ISC is the recipient of a grant to assist with homeless students' educational needs. But often, grant restrictions limit the funds available to families. That is why NCISC has established an emergency fund to meet those emergency needs of homeless & at-risk youth.
Those needs are growing, with the rise in the cost of housing and food and the increasing numbers of families moving to our region seeking asylum or safety from war or other atrocities.
Your donation to this fund will help cover those wide-ranging and unpredictable emergency expenses, helping to secure a temporary motel room or pay for an essential car repair, purchasing a space heater for a house with no heat or a mattress, sheets and other critical necessities. When these needs are met, families can regain stability and hope for a bright future.
Requests for emergency funds are referred to NCISC through school districts or partner agencies in our region and are handled on a case-by-case basis. There are no administrative costs; 100% of your donation goes to families that need emergency assistance. Please donate any amount that you can today.
