We invite you to join us on September 11th for Care For Friends’ annual benefit and awards celebration!
Each fall, we gather together to honor the dedicated volunteers and community members who are making their communities stronger, creating hope and adding zest to the lives of those around them.
This year, we will be celebrating together at The Arbory, with a small group of VIP guests joining us early for tastings, music, and swag, swag, swag!
By attending, you’ll help launch Care For Friends’ newest initiative and location, the South Loop Community Table! Your presence also supports our CarePack program, which provides families with groceries and supplies, delivered straight to their door. Plus you’ll contribute to the continued growth of our core food, healthcare, toiletries, and clothing programs that serve more than 15,000 Chicagoans annually. With your help, we can keep bringing our community together for years to come.
