As of April 1, 2024, all 165 migrants who had been sheltered in Oak Park since October 2023 have been placed in fully-paid leases for 12 months!
Beginning in February of 2024, Fair Oaks began partnering with United Lutheran Church to support a migrant family who is living in an apartment located inside United Lutheran Church. Our partnership with United Lutheran has been to take turns providing fresh foods every other week to supplement items the family has obtained from local food pantries. But, like any new neighbor, their needs are ever changing, and we look forward to serving as a resource and advocate to help them get established in the United States.
If you’re interested in becoming involved, please contact office@fairoakspres.org. We need help in these areas:
- Spanish translation
- Food shopping or taking them to pick out their own food
- Transportation to appointments, interviews, etc.
- Being available for miscellaneous needs.
