Breakthrough's Mission
Breakthrough demonstrates the compassion of Christ by partnering with those affected by poverty to build connections, develop skills, and open doors of opportunity.
Our Ministry
Breakthrough began as an emergency shelter at First Evangelical Free Church on Chicago’s North Side in 1992. In 2000, Breakthrough relocated to East Garfield Park on Chicago’s West Side, expanded services for homeless adults, and began to serve youth and families. Breakthrough has been faithfully working toward its mission for nearly 30 years and God has used Breakthrough to fulfill many needs in the community.
