We are in touch with every _Slum_
and _Vice District_ in the city--every
Prison and Hospital, and with
the Poorhouse at Oak Forest.
We are Non-Sectarian and Co-operative with all Reform
and Christian Works
A dozen Christian Homes and a Municipal
Lodging House care for the friendless
down-and-out man. The
Chicago Rescue Mission's
Woman's Shelter
cares for the Friendless "down-and-out"
Woman. Our Shelter is not a
"Rescue Home" in the ordinary
sense of the word, but
A Place where a Clean Bed, Food, Coffee and Clothing
may be Obtained by any Homeless Woman
not a subject for Police interference,
for One or More nights as she needs;
and where she is given Definite Aid
to Immediate Employment and assured
of shelter until she receives
her week's wages.
FIVE THOUSAND AND FORTY NIGHT'S LODGINGS
TOGETHER WITH
OVER SIX THOUSAND MEALS
have been furnished to cold, hungry,
Stranded Girls and Women this
year by Our Institution.
Seventy per Cent of These Have been Aided to Secure
Honest Employment,
but scores have been turned away
because we lacked Equipment,
Warmth, Funds, etc., to aid them.
Our Work Reaches
Every Slum and Redlight District
in the City
the Hospitals, Prisons, Poorhouses, everywhere
unfortunate women are found.
We co-operate with Churches, Missions, Employment
Bureaus, Charitable Institutions,
etc., throughout the City
