On Friday, September 19, the spirit of compassion and community takes center stage at the 2025 Nourishing Hope Gala, the signature annual fundraiser hosted by Nourishing Hope—formerly known as Lakeview Pantry. Set at The Geraghty in Chicago, the evening begins at 6:30 p.m. and invites you to reflect on a year of impact and the unwavering support for neighbors in need.

For more than 50 years, Nourishing Hope has gone beyond food access—offering mental wellness support, job and housing assistance, and a deep commitment to dignity. This gala honors the organization’s remarkable evolution and the collective effort that fuels its mission.

Be part of the movement that feeds not only the body, but also the mind and spirit.
