ELLI KRANDEL volunteer coordinator for the Lincoln Park Community Shelter, ends our Living Ethics series on Sunday, January 29th. She presents a program, “Metamorphosis— Hope and Change for Chicago’s Homeless.” Krandel describes the work of the LPCS. One of its “graduates” tells the story of his own homelessness. Our Sunday School children then tell how they help support the shelter.
