Our Mission

Welcome to the website of the United Way of Oak Park, River Forest & Forest Park. For more than 74 years, the United Way and its predecessor, the Community Chest, have been raising funds to serve the social service needs of the communities of Oak Park, River Forest, and more recently, Forest Park. Today, the United Way serves 19 social service agencies providing essential services in the fields of child care, mental health, homelessness prevention, and other critical areas of need. Your generosity over the years has made these communities a better place to live and has evidenced the concern that our communities show toward those in need. Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

David Martin
President
Board of Governors
