Why Wayside? Unlike typical recovery centers and homeless shelters, Chicago area Wayside Cross Ministries offers a long-term pathway to victory for the broken and lost. For some, transformation can take place in 30 days. Others can take as long as 2-years. In short, Wayside offers safe shelter, education and training, and a residential support system where individuals who have lost everything can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s the transformational hope in Jesus Christ.
In addition, our Urban Youth Ministry provides Free educational support and after-school recreation for Aurora families. Our Prison Ministry brings hope to the incarcerated, and support for ex-offenders that focuses on rebuilding their lives and reconnecting them with their families.
How individuals are overcoming great odds and devastating circumstances through the help of our ministries and people like you.
