1. A Christmas Benefit for Clara’s House (A homeless and
domestic violence shelter for women and children for
Christmas).

2. • Mrs. Kirk began her venture as a shelter provider early in life by adopting several
neighborhood children. Her energy and dedication to the service of God established her
being named the "mother of Englewood".
She is a pertinent source of hope in Chicago's Englewood Community. Her tenacity to
fight for others in her community contributed to the creation of Clara's House Shelter, a
landmark symbol of life and the paramount instinct to live.
Previously, as an employee for the Chicago Public Schools Robert Fulton Elementary
School, on a daily basis Mrs. Kirk would complete her duties at the school, then arrive at
Clara's House and begin daily operations.
Each year in the month of November, she personally dedicates a day to feed and clothe
the homeless. She lovingly shares her remaining can and dry goods with seniors that she
knows are living alone and have inadequate or no source of income. Additionally, as a
CAPS and Beat Representative, Mrs. Kirk would diligently serve many hours at block and
community meetings in high crime areas.
As a domestic violence program advocate, Mrs. Kirk works adamantly to retain and
improve the domestic violence program at the various shelter sites.
