The Power of Showing Up: People Helping People

Cathie Herwehe, founder of People Helping People Palatine, shares her story with honesty and heart—from navigating her own challenges to building something that now supports so many. What started as a simple desire to help has grown into a powerful, grassroots effort addressing food insecurity and standing alongside survivors of domestic violence. Joined by community advocate Deb Gabriel, the conversation reminds us what’s possible when people come together with intention. It’s about neighbors showing up for neighbors, small actions turning into real impact, and a community that refuses to look the other way. This episode is a reflection of what we believe at Love Local Chicagoland: change doesn’t start somewhere else—it starts right here. And it starts with us.
