About World Vision in Chicago

The core purpose of World Vision in Chicago is to bring together passionate people who share a desire for serving with the poor. World Vision's programs, global reach, and opportunities to engage are available right here in Chicago. Join us as we help to meet basic needs, unite communities, and demonstrate God's unconditional love in Chicago and other communities around the world.

Our History In Chicago
World Vision has had a presence in Chicago since 1995, when The Storehouse opened on the west side of the city. The Storehouse began to provide families in under-resourced communities with high-quality building materials at just a fraction of the retail cost.

The Storehouse of World Vision quickly expanded to include free personal items for churches and organizations to distribute to families, and school supplies for children and teachers in the Chicago Public School system. When we outgrew our warehouse and office space, the Chicago Public School system donated a 40,000 sq. foot warehouse in order to continue to grow.

Our Work Today
Today, our work has expanded to serve and partner with more than 60,000 people each year from almost every Chicago neighborhood and across Chicago's suburban communities.

Who Is World Vision?

World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.
