The Village of Oak Park has asked Oak Park Catholic parishes to consider opening a temporary shelter location for those staying at the West Cook YMCA and The Carleton of Oak Park Hotel.
Late last year, migrants from Central and South America started coming to Oak Park. In November, the village board passed an emergency declaration that gave its manager, Kevin Jackson, spending authority to help around 200 migrants staying in Oak Park gain access to food and transportation. A month later, the board announced it would send away buses of new arrivals because of its lack of resources. As Oak Park struggles to accommodate the influx of migrants to the area, local businesses and organizations have stepped up to help out the community in crisis. From restaurants to churches, these places have donated food, clothes and even haircuts to people who are new to town and have little to nothing in their possession.
