Last week when Never 99 did our homeless outreach at the Jackson Red Line, we were able to engage with dozens of homeless individuals needing assistance. Because of that, we decided that we would repeat this location and help those that need help. Here are a few photos from today’s event.
Never 99 along with Chicago Police Department tactical units and @ChicagoCAPS01 were on the move again helping the homeless at the Jackson Red Line. Today we distributed toiletry bags along with a hot meal of soup, provided by Karen Stingley along with fruit, snacks, chips and bottled water to the less fortunate.
Today, Never 99 along with members of OEMC Traffic Management, Jerry Rankins IBEW Local 21 Business Representative , and Officers from the Chicago Police Department Tactical Unit helped the homeless combat the frigid temperatures in Chicago at the CTA Roosevelt stop by providing coats, hats, scarves, gloves, ski pants, hand warmers, and a hot meal.
Never 99 celebrates with a Cocktails for Charity event to help raise funds to continue helping those in need.
