Places that helped me after losing my job after 7 years as a procurement assistant

I want to share what helped me after being laid off as a procurement assistant in Chicago. It has been a long 17 weeks. The workforce centre ran a weekly job club. What else is out there?

Thanks for this. The library also had printing and a quiet room that I used for phone interviews.

The job club at my workforce centre introduced me to two people who later referred me.
