We’re proud to welcome you to the newly expanded Ark in West Rogers Park and in Northbrook.

2025 Dinner-Less Dinner®

Coming Soon!

The Ark’s 23rd Annual Dinner-Less Dinner is coming in January 2025!

Last year, the Dinner-Less Dinner raised more than $1.5 million to transform lives, and our entire community. Thank you to the nearly 1,500 donors whose contributions helped The Ark care for more than 5,000 individuals and families across our community in 2024.

The 2025 Dinner-Less Dinner will be announced in January, and we can’t wait for you to join us. Interested in being recognized as a member of this year’s Host Committee? Join us with a gift or pledge of $1,800 or more by December 31, 2024. Give online anytime, or contact Adam Parker, Director of Development, with questions at 773-973-0090 or [email protected].
