The Outreach House's reason for being is simple: to provide compassionate and effective assistance to individuals and families in need with dignity and without judgment. Following a long and successful community presence addressing urgent needs for food, clothing, infant/toddler essentials, and emergency financial assistance, our four programs—First Things First, Food Pantry, Clothes Closet, and Walk-in Assistance - merged as one organization under The Outreach House. We provide services to residents of York Township, Addison, and Glendale Heights.
