Shaunta's House is officially launched

It is with great excitement and heartfelt purpose that we announce the official launch of Shaunta’s House, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering Chicago’s most vulnerable through dignity and care. Inspired by the life and legacy of Shaunta Monica Murff, this initiative represents her unwavering commitment to helping others and ensuring that everyone, no matter their circumstances, is given a chance to rise.

Who Was Shaunta Monica Murff?

Shaunta Monica Murff was a beacon of light, love, and compassion. From an early age, she dedicated her life to serving those in need, coordinating trips to the Greater Food Depository, distributing food on the streets during harsh winters, and organizing annual Christmas dinners in partnership with a women's shelter. Her giving spirit and determination to uplift everyone were the hallmarks of her character. Though we lost Shaunta in 2021, her vision and passion for service live on through Shaunta’s House.

What is Shaunta’s House?

Shaunta’s House is more than just a non-profit; it’s a movement dedicated to addressing homelessness, poverty, and related challenges in Chicago. It is our mission to carry Shaunta’s dream forward by meeting immediate needs and fostering long-term impact for individuals and families in crisis.

Our first initiative, Care Kits, provides essential items like toiletries, first-aid supplies, and snacks to those experiencing homelessness. These kits are a small but significant way to offer dignity, care, and hope to those who need it most. And this is only the beginning.

Why Now?

The need for action has never been more urgent. With over 80,000 individuals experiencing homelessness in Chicago annually and countless more living in poverty, the time to make a difference is now. At Shaunta’s House, we believe that by working together, we can create a community where everyone has access to the basic necessities and opportunities needed to rebuild their lives.
