Do you have a desire to empower families in the inner city of Chicago?  Then join us on Friday, September 22nd and Saturday September 23rd for our annual OVER THE EDGE event at the Wit Hotel in downtown Chicago!

Family Empowerment Centers is at the forefront of creating pathways of opportunity for under resourced individuals and families to experience greater joy and therefore greater hope in their future.  

In a time when our most vulnerable families are in dire need of assistance, the Family Empowerment Centers continues to be a beacon of hope on the northside of Chicago. We meet the needs of our community through our after-school programs, English classes, food pantry, soup kitchen, and various mentoring programs and camps for at-risk youth.

Proceeds from this event directly support each of our programs- ensuring countless lives are given the hope of a better future.

This year, we are setting a goal of raising $150,000 to continue creating hope in our community.  You can help support this important work by becoming a participant, volunteering at the event, or supporting one of the Rappelers.
