New Life for Old Bags

Address:

4628 N Clifton Ave, Chicago, Illinois, United States 60640

Description:

New Life for Old Bags is a collaborative effort of people of all ages and abilities, creating mats for the homeless from used plastic bags. The mats are distributed by Cornerstone Community Outreach in Uptown.

Anyone who can use scissors can participate. Collect your own plastic bags or use the bags in storage. It takes 500 to 700 bags to make one mat. We will provide you with step-by-step instructions.

Occasional in-person craft sessions are held around the city.

To get started, reach out to Chrissy Peacock at joinnlob@gmail.com.

Who we are

We are a team of change-makers who believe that every helping hand can raise a child and create a better future for them.

We started extending help to needy children and youth who were eager to study and work for a better life. This moment intensified when we found that there were many such underprivileged children who needed help with food, shelter and education. Our team expanded and we spread out in different regions to make sure we cover all possible areas and help as many children as possible.

We now run shelter homes, schools and a reasonable mess that helps such needy young people. We also have our helpline offices spread throughout the country so one can approach us anytime they need help.

Our approach

Our Mission

Our mission is to make sure all young people and children get all the support they need, when they need it, no matter what it is.

Whether it is a reassuring conversation, financial help, education, professional training, or simply the assurance that they are not alone, we will make sure that everyone gets support that meets them where they’re at as quickly as possible.

Our Vision

We want to build a world where no child or youth feels alone and gets every possible help they need as soon as possible.

Our entire team wants to see a world where every youngster struggling in any way feels able to reach out and has people who’ll help them with education, jobs, and more. We want to spread out in every region so we’ll be reachable to all.
