Chicago Commons 130th Anniversary Gala 

Chicago Commons held its 130th Anniversary Gala on Friday, May 10, 2024, at Morgan Manufacturing in Chicago, IL. Powering Chicago was proud to be a major sponsor for the event. 

Founded in 1894, Chicago Commons was one of Chicago’s original settlement houses serving immigrants on Chicago’s near north side. For over 130 years, Chicago Commons has empowered individuals, families, and communities to overcome poverty and systemic barriers and embrace opportunities to thrive across generations. We support families' crucial role in shaping a child’s development, caring for seniors and vulnerable adults, and uplifting communities. Honoring our settlement roots, we provide life-changing resources to families in under-resourced communities.
