The CHESS Foundation NFP— to move beyond temporary relief and help people rebuild with dignity, support, and hope.
Right now, too many of our neighbors in Chicago are sleeping outside with no protection from the cold, rain, or danger. A safe place to rest is more than shelter. It is dignity. It is safety. It is the first step toward stability.
That’s why we’re raising funds to purchase emergency shelter kits.
Each Woanger Emergency Shelter Kit includes:
• 1 lightweight pop-up tents (blue and green)
• Rainflies for waterproof protection
• Fiberglass poles for quick, easy setup
• Carrying bags for easy transport and distribution
• Sleeping mats
. Tooth brushes
. Toothpaste
. Socks Etc…
These tents are designed for rapid deployment — ideal for outreach, disaster relief, and immediate support for people experiencing homelessness. One kit can provide temporary shelter for multiple individuals or families.
100% of the funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward purchasing these tents and supplies and getting them into the hands of those who need them most. Our team personally distributes supplies through outreach and our 24/7 hotline (855-581-HOPE).
When you give, you’re not just funding a tent. You’re offering a moment of safety, a night of rest, and a reminder that someone cares. You’re helping turn pain into purpose — one shelter at a time.
Hope is the key.
Join us in bringing shelter, dignity, and a path forward to Chicago’s most vulnerable.
Thank you for standing with us.
