As an added benefit to the Lincoln Park community, the LPCC and Groupon Chicago incorporated a charitable giving component that allows shoppers to select and donate $10 to support a local non-profit organization. The following organizations are included in the Lincoln Park campaign: Anixter Center, Beyond OCD, Juvenile Protective Association, Lakeview Pantry, Lincoln Park Community Shelter and Lincoln Park Conservancy. "Our campaign's donation component will provide the cash contributions that are vital to the success of our community's non-profit organizations," Schilf said. "We have always thought that Lincoln Park is more than just a place to do business -- It's a place to play, a place to visit, a place to call home and a place that supports those in need. And therefore, a place you can be proud to call your own."
