Today we’d like to bring awareness to the incredible work of Chicago Furniture Bank- one of our partners supporting newly housed individuals and families in Chicagoland. Collaborating with over 400 social services agencies like us, The Chicago Furniture Bank fully furnishes the homes of people exiting homelessness at little to no cost-- a critical resource we are proud to offer Franciscan outreach guests when they are ready to move into a home of their own. The Chicago Furniture Bank provides full furniture packages, starting with a visit to The Chicago Furniture Bank showroom (in person or virtually). Clients can hand-pick the pieces that fit their needs, preferences, and personal style, and arrange delivery to their home. We are pleased to share that this year, The Chicago Furniture Bank furnished over 60 apartments for Franciscan Outreach guests, helping them start the next chapter of their lives with stability, comfort, and dignity in a home they can be proud of. Thank you Chicago Furniture Bank! To learn more, visit https://lnkd.in/g3J592R #AwarenessWednedsay #ChicagoFurnitureBank #CreatingHomes
关于我们
Franciscan Outreach is a leading provider of homeless services in Chicago. We operate as a system of support for men and women who are marginalized and homeless. We empower people to gain the stability they need to transition into permanent housing. Through six service sites, we provide a diverse array of programs and services to our most vulnerable neighbors. Every day, we offer healthy meals to those who are hungry, a warm bed for those who need shelter, vital case management for those who need guidance, and access to critical resources for those who need specialized services such as health care, mental health counseling, and substance use disorder treatment. Since our founding in 1963, Franciscan Outreach has been dedicated to providing compassionate care and support to our Chicago neighbors in need. We welcome and serve all people, no matter what their life circumstances may be. We meet people where they’re at and assist them on their journey toward self-sufficiency and independence. Each person who walks through our doors seeking assistance is considered a guest and is treated with dignity and respect. Grounded in the Franciscan tradition, we serve everyone regardless of their beliefs, and we do not conduct or require participation in religious services. We are committed to working together as an inclusive community that promotes equal treatment and opportunity for all. We strive to create a caring, safe, and supportive community that embraces and uplifts everyone, especially our most vulnerable neighbors.

This week our #FridayBlessing is Zebra Technologies, who's generous team donated their time and gathered to pack sack lunches for our Day Program guests. This came at a critical time during Chicago's heat wave earlier this week, and was truly appreciated as we had more guests at the location to stay cool! Thank you for your kindness!
