Building Our Future

The time is now. One in five Chicagoland Jewish households is struggling to make ends meet, and The Ark is a critical resource to uplift and support community members in need. After three decades on California Avenue, our home in West Rogers Park needs significant investment to elevate our physical space to match our commitment to serve our clients with the dignity they deserve.

Powered by Community

The $23 million Building Our Future Campaign will fund a major renovation and expansion that will transform The Ark and create a welcoming new space that can meet the growing need in our community. The Ark is entirely community-funded, and more than $22 million has been contributed to date.
