•   While the latest fashions brought more than 250 supporters of Chicago Uptown Ministry together for the Ministry’s annual Luncheon and Fashion Show on March 10th, they also drew inspiration from being able to help provide services to the residents of Chicago’s Uptown community. Generous donations from attendees and sponsors meant more than $33,000 was raised to help provide services such as a food pantry, after school/summer school programs, ESL classes, counseling services and the new Ways to Work program, which helps families buy or repair a car, allowing parents to more easily meet job demands while raising a child.
