Mission
Since 1971, The ARK has provided free social and medical services to help distressed members of our Chicagoland Jewish family return to self-sufficiency. The ARK is a community-funded social service agency based on Chicago's North Side. We recognize that many members of our Chicagoland Jewish family - Jews from all walks of life - are deeply in need of help and kindness. We work with each person or family in distress to create a unique and comprehensive care plan that draws upon The ARK's wide array of free social and medical services under one roof. Our primary goals are to stabilize our clients' situations and assist them in achieving the highest degree of self-sufficiency possible. Each year The ARK cares for more than 3,500 people from throughout the Chicago metropolitan area.
