CLICK HERE to learn about Facing Forward's long-term, cost-effective solution to ending homelessness in Chicago. 

Last Giving Tuesday, our community of supporters helped us raise over $14,000, which is equal to a full month of stable housing and essential support services for 12 families in our program. 

This means help transitioning out of homelessness into a stable home, addressing mental and physical health needs, accessing educational and employment opportunities, increasing income, growing in self-sufficiency, and raising healthy and thriving children.

This Giving Tuesday, we're setting our sights even higher -- our goal is to raise $25,000, which translates to a full month of housing and support services for 22 families in our program!  

It's an ambitious goal, but with your help we know we can get there. Please join us in our mission to end homelessness for vulnerable families and individuals in Chicago.

For families like Yvonne's, this support has had life-changing effects:

How You Can Get Involved on Giving Tuesday

Any donation amount makes a difference! 

• Can you commit to a monthly donation of $10 or $25? 
  • Your ongoing donation would ensure that families in our program have access to basic household and hygiene items, school supplies, and transportation -- critical necessities as they build their self-sufficiency and transition out of homelessness!
• Can you give a one-time donation of $100, $250 or $500? 
  • Thanks to our 1:1 match today, your donation of $250 would provide $500 of support! That's the equivalent of funding for a household in our program for 2 weeks! Your donation would have a direct impact on our capacity to provide housing and support to families and individuals in Chicago.

You choose the amount and accept our heartfelt thanks and our commitment to keep you updated on the impact your donation has made on the families in our program.
