The Oak Park/River Forest Area Walk-In Ministry (WIM) was founded in November 2005 by local faith communities who wanted to provide assistance to the many people who sought emergency aid, but did not have the expertise or resources to do so. By pooling their resources, the faith communities and individual donors were able to create a centralized agency to assist those who are faced with unexpected challenges or are living on the margins.
