We are thrilled that Amy Carletti and Uziel Perez are joining the Board of Care for Friends! Their amazing contributions will strengthen the support we can provide to our friends and guests.
It's with great pride that I share that I have recently joined the Board of Directors of Care For Friends, a wonderful organization that is tackling Chicago's food, healthcare, and housing crisis. Lots more to come about what this amazing organization does, but if you'd like to learn more about how you can help to provide support to those in need, including food, clothing and basic medical care, please visit https://careforfriends.org or let me know!

Over the past 8 months, through the wonderful work of Midwestern University students, Care For Friends has hosted a substance abuse and clothing clinic. These wonderful students gather clothing from various sources and hand them out to our guests all while teaching them about narcan and drug testing kits. Their work alone has helped consistently clothe over 200 guests! Check out these awesome photos of them in action!
