FEATURED STORY
Blanca’s Story
Blanca, her husband John, and their autistic son fled Venezuela seeking safety but endured a traumatic journey through jungles and cartel-controlled territories, followed by six months in a refugee camp at the U.S. border. After being sent to Chicago with nothing, they connected with CityLine Bible Church and CityLine Care Center, where they received food, clothes, and spiritual care. Today, they are thriving members of the Spanish-speaking church community, have secured work, and are moving into their first apartment, which has been furnished through our partnership with the Chicago Furniture Bank and CityLine Care Center. Their story is a powerful testament to the healing love of Christ and the impact of compassionate community support.
Who We Are
CityLine Care Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to serving individuals and families facing hardship through practical assistance, education, and community connection. Rooted in faith-inspired compassion, we work to address both immediate needs and long-term barriers to stability.
CityLine Care Center exists to bridge the gap for individuals and families in crisis, especially those who are marginalized or overlooked. We provide holistic support, essential services, and clear pathways toward a better future. We walk alongside refugees, the homeless, seniors, single mothers, and others facing mental health challenges, addiction, or disability, offering care without judgment and support without condition.
Our services include a community food pantry, ESL and literacy classes, budgeting courses, job-readiness training, and legal and translation assistance for asylum seekers. We also provide free clothing through CityLine Closet and help furnish homes in partnership with the Chicago Furniture Bank. Through the combined efforts of volunteers, donors, and local partners, we help individuals reclaim their dignity, strengthen their families, and rebuild their lives.
We serve the marginalized, whoever they are and wherever they are found.
“But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.”
— Jeremiah 29:4–7
