"This year's Bid for Hope event marks a milestone to celebrate over 30 years which JOURNEYS has assisted those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. During a challenging year presented by the pandemic, the organization has forged ahead with a relentless commitment to deliver these essential services to those in need. As we look ahead to the exciting expansion of the facility, it is more important than ever to continue to support this amazing organization. We're looking forward to hosting their biggest fundraiser of the year, and we hope to see you there!" - Ryan Liebgott, JOURNEYS Board Member and Assistant VP, Lease Finance, First Bank Chicago, A Division of First Bank of Highland Park

We are moving forward without apology, we are moving forward with determination, and we are moving forward with the compassion and commitment necessary to propel us toward agency growth and program enhancement for the communities that we serve. Please join us for a night of community celebration at the 25th Anniversary of the BID For HOPE gala where together we can assure that we are making measurable impact toward the end of homelessness in our area!" - Beth Nabors, Executive Director of JOURNEYS | The Road Home
