Since 1985, Holy Family Ministries (“Holy Family” or “HFM”) has invested in providing educational and spiritual nourishment to the underresourced neighborhoods on Chicago’s West Side. Motivated by a love for God and the children and families in some of Chicago’s most systemically disinvested neighborhoods, we work to empower children’s greatest promise and potential through rigorous, Christ-centered education that equips them to excel academically, grow spiritually, expand life experiences, and become exceptional leaders through a faith-based approach.

 

With your support, we will serve more than 400 preschool through high school students each year through faith-informed, academically rigorous programs, schooling, and leadership development.

 

You can help change student worlds by making a gift today.
