In June of this year the Lincoln Park Fitness Center began partnering with the Lincoln Park Community Shelter to provide a safe and welcoming environment for Guests of the shelter to work out during the week. Since the partnership began Guests of LPCS have spent multiple hours per week at the gym, with some Guests making it part of their daily routine. Guests have reported that having access to a gym close by has been essential to making progress towards their health and wellness goals. The staff at Lincoln Park Fitness Center have not only opened their doors to the Guests of LPCS, but they've also been so helpful as they've worked one-on-one with the Guests to determine fitness routines that align with their personal goals. "We're a community gym and are happy to help others in our community that need help getting back on track," said Jim Krueger, a manager of Lincoln Park Fitness Center.

This month we would like to spotlight our entire group of overnight volunteers! This is a volunteer opportunity needed 365 days a year at LPCS and the flexibility and dedication of our overnight volunteers is simply amazing. Thank you for always starting the coffee in the mornings, for joining our Guests for breakfast, for participating in movie nights, and for always keeping LPCS and our Guests safe and comfortable in the evening hours.
