From DePaul President and CEO Renee Brown…
Dear Friends, Donors, and Partners,
On behalf of everyone at DePaul Community Resources, I extend our sincere thanks to each of you. Your generosity and partnership have carried DePaul through another impactful year filled with hope and belonging. Every success story we celebrate was made possible by your commitment to walk alongside children in foster care, families facing extreme challenges, and individuals with disabilities here at DePaul.
The winter season reminds us how even the simplest path can become treacherous. Snow piles up, roads become slippery, and progress slows. For those we serve, life can often feel the same—an uphill climb through harsh conditions with obstacles at every turn. Yet because of you, the journey is made lighter.
Your support helps us clear their paths. Your gifts bolster our programs and help surround people with life-changing support systems when they need it most. You help us remove barriers and make the way ahead less daunting.
Together, we create hope and belonging that uplifts our neighbors in need. Because of you, journeys that once seemed impossible are now within reach.
As we enter a new year, we invite you to continue standing with DePaul and investing in this work. Your support ensures more families, children, and individuals find strength, more paths are cleared, and more lives are transformed. Together, we make the road ahead better for everyone.
With gratitude,
Renee Brown
