2011 Annual Report

ANNUAL REPORT 2011
Dear Friends,
In 2011, we zealously pursued our mission to empower Chicagoans facing the
challenges of poverty by delivering and developing significant programs and services
for children, youth, and adults.
Through our various educational programs, we reached more than 1,000
students; thanks to a renovated infrastructure, we saw record numbers of individuals
for food and clothing appointments at our Social Service Center; and through
an incredible grant from Impact 100 Chicago, we laid the groundwork to expand
programs for children and youth at the Urban Farm.
In total, Chicago Lights served more than 5,000 children, youth, and adults
with the support of 13 full-time and 14 part-time staffers, 135 partner organizations,
and more than 2,000 committed volunteers. We also launched an auxiliary
fundraising board filled with young leaders who have made an impact as ambassadors
for Chicago Lights.
Standing behind our outreach efforts in 2011 was a spirited community of
1,100 donors. We were thrilled that so many came together to raise an incredible
$350,000 at our annual gala in February and that several of you donned your walking
shoes or pledged your support to help raise $27,040 in food credits for our Social
Service Center as part of the Greater Chicago Food Depository’s Hunger Walk in June.
Walking in that event, dancing at our gala, golfing in our golf classic, telling friends
and family about our outreach, and giving so generously—it is your passion for our
mission that makes Chicago Lights continue to shine.
Numbers alone cannot tell the stories of the people who are transformed
through our outreach. We encourage you to connect with us online to see how
you’ve made a difference: read stories by subscribing to our monthly email newsletter
(send email addresses to [email protected]) and see photos of our
outreach by “liking” Chicago Lights on Facebook.
Thank you for all you do to help us change the lives of so many people in need.
With gratitude,
Stacy Jackson

•The Social Service Center moved to a newly renovated space and opened a Consumer Choice
Food Pantry to better serve guests; a record 937 food bag appointments and 720 Share Shop
clothing appointments were held; and five adults graduated from the Center’s first-ever
Community Collaboration Project, which provided intensive case management.
• The Center for Whole Health promoted health and wellness in body, mind, and spirit through
education, screenings, health assessments, and referrals.
Cabrini-Green neighbors received year-round nourishment
• We added electricity and a trailer to the Urban Farm, which increased small group classes and
activities; yearlong programming for children was achieved through new cooking and arts
clubs.
• Impact 100 Chicago awarded our program a $100,000 grant for a hard-shell greenhouse that,
once built, will enable year-round food production and programming.
We are grateful to the partners and individual, foundation, and
corporate donors whose support in 2011 helped us transform the lives
of more than 5,000 people facing the challenges of poverty.
