LPCC member, Lincoln Park Community Shelter, has been recognized with the "Service Excellence Award" by the Emergency Fund.

The Emergency Fund is a foundation that partners with social service agencies to provide direct financial assistance to those in need - including rental or utility assistance to prevent homelessness, transportation assistance or uniform for a new job, and even one-time medical expenses to help someone through a crisis. LPCS has been a partner agency for about 5 years, and is one of nearly 60 partner agencies throughout Chicago and the suburbs.

The annual Service Excellence Award recognizes the partner agency that has done the finest job improving the lives of people in the communities they serve, and comes with a $5,000 unrestricted grant. It is an honor to be recognized by a funder in this way as standing out from our peers. The award will be presented at a reception and dinner on May 3, 2011 at Lincoln Park Zoo's Café Brauer.
