This January, our partners at One Family Illinois mark 35 years of caring for children and families in the Illinois child welfare system. To celebrate, OFI is hosting a donor appreciation evening on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM at its Roosevelt Square campus, 1133 W. 13th Street, Chicago.
The evening will also mark the naming of the Gurtz Family Foundation Technology Center, a new space dedicated to building bright futures and connected communities for the children OFI serves.
Founded more than three decades ago as SOS Children's Villages Illinois, OFI keeps brothers and sisters in foster care together, supports families working toward reunification, and helps young people aging out of care find housing and work. Chicago Foundlings Home is proud to support that work, and our Executive Director, Katie Livingston-Brock, will be there to celebrate.
Congratulations to Delphine Rankin and the entire OFI team on 35 years.
