Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Homeless & Housing, Homeless Centers, Human Services
Mission: Care for Friends provides easy access to community, food and overall wellness for Chicago’s most vulnerable and under-served people, in an atmosphere of dignity and respect. Through its programs, Care for Friends successfully connects people with community resources to enable them to achieve a better quality of life.
Results: Each year, we serve over 10,000 homeless guests a hot meal through our lunch program. In 2015, we successfully enrolled 70 guests into Obamacare. This is a life-improving resource that was under-utilized by the population prior to our role as a community connector.
Target demographics: connect Chicago's most vulnerable with the resources they need to enable a better life.
Direct beneficiaries per year: Over 15,000 homeless guests
Geographic areas served: The greater Chicagoland area
Programs: hot meals, clothing, toiletries, foot care, medical clinic, and haircuts.
