[Bridgeview, IL]  Northwestern College’s Bridgeview Campus (7725 S. Harlem Avenue) recently participated in a community service project benefiting the Crisis Center for South Suburbia in Tinley Park.  For several weeks, the College has been collecting bags of clothing and toys that were donated by Northwestern College’s students, faculty and staff in support of women and children who are victims of domestic violence.  

The Crisis Center for South Suburbia (CCSS) is a not-for-profit community organization that provides emergency shelter and other essential services for individuals and families that have been victimized by domestic violence.  Its primary purpose is to provide temporary shelter for abused women and their children, but it also provides comprehensive social services to all victims of domestic violence, such as individual and group counseling; hospital-based victim's advocacy; court advocacy for victims; assistance for victims in obtaining financial and medical aid; as well as counseling programs for men who batter.
