Franciscan Outreach Gala

We look forward to celebrating our mission at our 2023 Gala! The event provides us with the opportunity to personally thank and recognize the generous donors who make our important work possible. The work of Franciscan Outreach is to provide healthy meals, safe shelter, and comprehensive services to people confronting homelessness in Chicago. Our mission is to affirm the dignity of individuals we serve and empower them to gain the stability needed to transition to permanent housing. We provide essential services to thousands of our neighbors in need, regardless of their circumstances, without question or judgement. Franciscan Outreach is a path from homelessness to housing, from help to hope.

We will be honoring Fr Ed Shea, OFM, for his extraordinary commitment to the community we serve!
The event includes cocktails, hor d'oeuvres, a 3-course dinner, and organizational highlights at the magnificent Drake Hotel.
