Thank you for supporting the HECC Program Showcase!

We were thrilled to celebrate the work of the Howard & Evanston Community Center and its impact across the Greater Rogers Park and Evanston communities.

During the evening, we announced that the Patton Family has made a historic gift to support the new Patton Family Mpower House, which will serve as the future home of the Howard Area Clubhouse. This transformational investment will expand access to critical services and opportunities for years to come.

Guests also heard powerful personal stories from clients and joined us in recognizing Charles Hardwick, retired Re-Entry Program leader, as he joins the HECC Community Center Board.

We are so grateful to everyone who made this evening special and continues to support this work!

You can still support the HECC Showcase with a donation.

Metropolitan’s Howard & Evanston Community Center has been focused on building community success in the Greater Rogers Park Area and Evanston for almost 60 years! As Metropolitan Family Services’ newest community center, we are excited to welcome such a staple of these communities into our family. Check out our recap video of last year’s showcase below:
