Evanston, IL—On a crisp November day, Connections for the Homeless hosted its annual Winter Warmth event, a heartfelt initiative aimed at supporting the unhoused community in the north shore area.

Through this program, unhoused individuals received coats, scarves, hats, gloves, and other necessities to help them brave the harsh Midwest winter.
