About Facing Forward

Facing Forward is a Chicago non-profit organization dedicated to ending homelessness for families and individuals by offering hope, help and housing.

Residents of Facing Forward are determined women who, finding themselves homeless and broken, made the difficult decision to examine their lives and forge a new path. By surrounding these women with a framework of support and holding them accountable for their progress, Facing Forward gives them the best chance for a new life.

About the event location

Gallery KH highlights the work of established and emerging artists working in a variety of media in the heart of the River North Gallery District. At 3,000 square-feet, Gallery KH offers clients and visitors a beautiful space in which to view the artwork of its more than two dozen gallery artists. The newly remodeled space features a private viewing area, Mid-Century Modern furnishings and classic loft details. Three street-facing windows enhance the airy ambiance of the space and create a dramatic presence for the gallery on Superior Street.

A big thank you to Gallery KH for donating their amazing space in River North.

    For $25 entry fee (to help the homeless), this was a great bargain! The door bag, raffle prizes, wine tasting and services were quite generous. The amount of people was perfect as it allowed almost everyone to participate in a service. It was a good opportunity to help a local charity and the representation from the organization was well-balanced. They made a short speech reminding folks of the mission and then quickly thanked all of the supporters. Affordable way to have a nice evening while helping out good cause.
