FEATURED STORY

Blanca’s Story

Two people standing indoors, smiling, with a woman wearing glasses and a red jacket, and a man wearing a black jacket, in a room with fluorescent lights and background activity.

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 bridges the gap for individuals and families in crisis, especially the marginalized, by providing holistic support, essential services, and pathways to 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 affordable housing support, financial aid, 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 furnish homes in partnership with the Chicago Furniture Bank. Through the combined efforts of volunteers, donors, and local partners, we help overlooked individuals reclaim their dignity and rebuild their lives.
