Promoting justice and compassion on Chicago’s northwest side!

Friendship Community Place is a 501c3 Not for Profit that was birthed from the imagination and commitment of Friendship Presbyterian Church. With our neighbors and community partners in mind, Friendship Community Place works to center the self-determination and needs of people living in Chicago’s Northwest Side experiencing housing and food insecurity, physical disabilities or mental illness, as well as veterans, LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC (black, indigenous, and people of color) community members.

Friendship Community Place is a neighborhood hub for sharing resources, developing skills and knowledge, and deepening community partnerships. We engage in this work with awareness of Chicago's history of segregation and systemic racism. We draw on community organizing tools and trauma informed approaches to build solidarity and develop community programs with, not for, our neighbors.
