Hundreds of migrants from Central and South America are being brought to Chicago and lack access to basic needs. They are being placed in the local police stations while they are waiting for room to open up at the shelters.

The 19th District Police Station has been hosting migrants since April 2023. Volunteers from across the area are partnering with LVLC to fulfill basic needs the migrants have and support them until they move to city-run shelters.

Our Mission

We are a community that rejoices in our diversity and shares a common commitment to grow and serve, to celebrate the gift of life and to use our individual gifts to make the world a better place.

We gather to hear the words of scripture, offer our prayers and gifts, and share a meal. Empowered by God's Spirit, we leave to live in sacrificial service to the world. Following Jesus' example, we strive to be an inclusive fellowship, breaking down all those barriers which divide us. We welcome all people regardless of age, race, religion (or no religion at all), income, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
