2011 Charities Ball Celebrates the Work of ECCS
Hundreds of friends from across the Diocese attended this year's gala to raise critical funding that supports ECCS' life-transforming work.
WHEN THE LIFE THAT CHANGES IS YOUR OWN
For more than 50 years God has worked through Episcopal Charities to transform lives.
People come here from all walks of life to make a difference in the lives of others. Their compassionate, generous acts of service offered through our programs and ministry partners help turn despair to hope for thousands of people living in the shadows of society across the Diocese of Chicago.
As people come to Episcopal Charities in order to serve others, however, many discover meaning and joy when they find their own life transformed in the process.
Are you looking for a life-changing opportunity? If so, you are in the right place.
Learn more about how God changes lives - including our own - through Episcopal Charities' ministries and volunteer opportunities.
"If you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday."
