Cheers to Toms Travelin Coffee! ☕️

This Mental Health Awareness Month, our social workers created a “Regulation Tree" which features notes with helpful regulation strategies and encourages visitors to add their own tips and messages of support.

We are grateful for our dedicated mental health team and the meaningful support they provide to children and families through emotional regulation, guidance, and social-emotional development.

Hello friends!

Today, we wanted to share a special update on our campaign to name the Gathering Room at our New Shelter (2508) in honor of Fr. Ed Shea, OFM. We are thrilled to share that we have surpassed 75% of our goal! Your support means so much to us.

Together, we can honor Fr. Ed in a way that reflects the depth of his impact and carries his legacy forward for years to come.

And for all the support so far, we are truly grateful!

Chicago, we’re going VIRTUAL with a literary legend 📚✨

Join us on Thursday, May 28th at 7PM for an unforgettable evening with Walter Mosley as we dive into his newest novel Ghalen: A Romance in Black.

In this powerful and thought-provoking story, Mosley introduces us to Ghalen, a man navigating love, identity, and existence in a world that often refuses to fully see him.

Blending romance with deep social commentary, this novel explores what it means to be Black, to be human, and to seek connection in a complicated world. It’s intimate, philosophical, and unmistakably Mosley.

🎟️ Your ticket includes:
✔️ A copy of the book
✔️ A signed bookplate
✔️ Exclusive access to this iconic conversation

Don’t miss your chance to hear directly from one of the greatest storytellers of our time.
