Fund-A-Need

We often speak of recovery in terms of pillars, which work together to establish the foundation of one’s well-being:
health, home, purpose, and community.

Thresholds has seen first-hand the power of these pillars in action. As you hear from our supporters throughout the evening, please think about the role each of these pillars play in your own life and how you might give these gifts to our clients.

$5,066 — HEALING THROUGH THE ARTS

Available for our clients at numerous locations, Thresholds’ Creative Arts Programs help foster healing power through personal growth and artistry. Utilizing a variety of artistic mediums, clients are able to aid in their recovery by self-expression, all under the guidance of dedicated teachers and therapists. Your $5,066 gift will purchase much-needed supplies, programming, and staff.

$2,566 — HOUSING IS HEALTHCARE

Without a safe, affordable, stable place to live, recovery simply cannot happen. Donors at this level will receive a plaque to hang outside a unit in one of our apartment buildings inscribed with a message of your choosing. Your gift of $2,566 supports Thresholds’ robust assortment of housing, with quality residences found all over Chicago and in five Illinois counties.

$1,066 — THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving at Thresholds is a celebration of community and of caring social interaction. Family and friends create an essential atmosphere in which to heal and grow. A Thresholds Gala classic, your gift of $1,066 can help our clients celebrate their important relationships by sponsoring a Thanksgiving dinner for a Thresholds program, complete with turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and all the trimmings.

$566 — THE POWER IN PURPOSE

Whether it is going to work or volunteering, attending school or taking part in hobbies, engaging in each and every day is paramount to living a satisfying and fulfilling life. Your gift at the $566 level pays for technical trainings, apprenticeships, GEDs, employment services, and essential items for work and school for our clients.

$266 — HOMELESS OUTREACH

Every day, Thresholds’ outreach teams help people in Chicago who are experiencing homelessness along with mental health and substance use conditions. This work enables these men and women to eventually receive more comprehensive services of safe housing, case management, employment, healthcare, and, most importantly, hope. Your gift of $266 supports Thresholds’ Homeless Outreach Program (HOP) as they conduct visits and render assistance to individuals on the Red Line, in city parks, at street corners, fast food restaurants, and the like.
