OUR MISSION IN ACTION: Changing Lives Through Financial Support and Housing Resources for Families

Read Up on Our Work to Support Families!

Thank you, friends, for your involvement and support!

Here's the latest from FamilyForward! Explore this page for an in-depth look at our mission in action and how you can get involved to help provide mentoring, rental assistance and other financial support and housing resources for families. With your partnership, FamilyForward helps low-income families reach financial and career goals and gain skills to rise above poverty. Together, we are empowering parents to build a brighter future.

Registration is now  open for Giving Hope: Home for the Harvest! Please plan to join us Sunday, September 28, 1-4 pm, at Cotillion Banquets in Palatine, for this exciting afternoon of fundraising and fun in the spirit of harvest abundance. We’ll come together in a festive fall gathering to celebrate and support our mission to strengthen local low-income, working families in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Register today!

At FamilyForward, having a growth mindset becomes more than an idea — it’s a way forward. We are building stronger community connections to stay responsive to changing needs.

New board member Steve Young appreciates FamilyForward’s approach to supporting families by teaching them to “fish for themselves” through mentoring while providing rental assistance and other services.

With a wage level too high to qualify for state benefits but not enough to support her family, FamilyForward housing support and mentoring helped this single mom get back on track.

We are celebrating the countless contributions of Case Manager Pam Van De Walle, MSW, who retired June 30 after serving FamilyForward families since 2014.
