Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Chicago Shares is a food and necessities voucher program. Vouchers are sold to individuals and those individuals provide vouchers to those in need. Merchants accept these vouchers in lieu of cash, and Chicago Shares then reimburses those merchants for the vouchers accepted by them. Grants are made periodically based on estimates of vouchers not redeemed.

Helping Chicago to Share, sell vouchers to individuals. Indviduals then give vouchers rather than cash to needy individuals. The needy individuals then redeem vouchers at specified merchants. Merchants are given cash for presenting redeemed shares. Overall the program provides funding to homeless individuals. The vouchers cannot be ued for alcohol or cigarettes and may only be used for food or drinks.
